In which sentence or sentences is the word "wrinkle" used correctly?
Correct choice. The word "wrinkles" is used correctly here. The noun "a wrinkle" is a small fold or indentation, often in the skin. Example: "I've found my first wrinkle! It's next to my left eye".
This is a correct use of the word "wrinkles". To "wrinkle" is to acquire small folds. Another example: "I love this linen skirt, but it wrinkles as soon as I sit down".
This is a correct answer. Many people buy anti-wrinkle cream to stop the skin from ageing. Botox is also used these days, but some people look like trout when they use too much!
This is not a good choice. You shouldn't "wrinkle" paper, you should "fold" it.
