Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the people from the United States of America might preserve some words that in British English might sound completely obsolete (such as Hideosity), it is also true that it is not uncommon for the word to be used later on by the Americans as if it was completely different word with a whole new meaning to it.
