1 is the right answer. There is a statement and a question asking whether the statement that was just made is correct or wrong. The statement is wrong, as explained in the answer. So to break it down: STATEMENT: Amy doesn't speak Korean. QUESTION: (Am I) right? ANSWER: No (you are not right) EXPLANATION: She does speak Korean. She has lived in Korea for three years!
