Final answer:
The statement is false because the correct word should be 'poured' instead of 'pored.'
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is English because it relates to grammar and language usage.
The question is discussing whether Julie's younger brother Jacob poured too much syrup on his pancakes. To determine if this statement is true or false, we need to understand the meaning of 'pore' in this context. 'Pore' is a commonly mistaken homophone for 'pour.' In this case, 'pore' should actually be 'pour,' which means to pour a liquid onto something. Based on this understanding, the statement 'Julie was quite convinced that her younger brother Jacob had pored too much syrup on his pancakes' is incorrect because it should be 'poured too much syrup.'
Therefore, the correct answer is:
b) False
