In relation to the elements from the comic strip, Text VI, consider the following statements.

I. In the utterance “I don’t understand women”, the word “women” is the plural form of woman, and is classified as an irregular noun whose plural is formed by mutation, in other words, a change in the vowel of the singular form. Other examples of plural nouns formed by mutation include “man/men”, “tooth/teeth”, and “mouse/mice”.

II. In the clause “that’s always worked”, replacing the verb “worked” with the phrasal verb “given up” would preserve the original meaning of the sentence, as both expressions convey the idea of successful effort or effectiveness over time.

III. The term "yeah" is a conjunction that expresses surprise or disbelief, commonly used in formal written English to indicate hesitation or irony.

IV. In “I’ll pretend I do”, the term “do” refers to “understand women” and is used to avoid unnecessary repetition.

V. In the clause “Yeah, that’s always worked”, the apostrophe+s (´s) is a contraction of the verb “to be” in the present tense (that is), forming a structure that indicates an action that began in the past and continues into the present.

Mark the alternative in which the statements are correct.
