It is wrong because serve ends in e. The e is dropped before you add ing, so it should be serving.
2 · Find the 3 mistakes

makeing
making
2
stiring
stirring
3
cuting
cutting
hoping is the word that looks wrong and is already right (the decoy): hope drops its e, it does not double.
MediumCheck the end of the root word. Then choose one of the three changes.

Serve ends in e. The e steps aside so the ending can sit down, so it should be serving, not serveing.

Model answers
Polpetta is baking bread while the cat is sitting by the oven.
Rosa tried the soup and enjoyed every spoonful.
jumping: jump ends in two consonants, so there is nothing to double and nothing to change.
4 · Help Polpetta
It is still wrong because serve is not a short word with one vowel and one last letter; it ends in e, so the e drops and nothing doubles: serving. A word that does double is hop, hopping (or stop, stopped).

hoping is already right (the decoy). enjoing is the y that should have stayed, because the y follows a vowel. longest is correct too, no change needed.
