The task is to translate the sentence into Japanese in Hiragana. We are given two candidate answers to evaluate.
Option 1: "わたしは　しんぶんを　よみます。￥" This version uses the natural base words: わたしは (I) + しんぶんを (the newspaper as object) + よみます (read). The content is correct, but there is an extraneous symbol at the end (￥), which does not belong in a proper Japanese sentence and may be a typing error. The spacing with full-width spaces between words is not incorrect per se, but Japanese typically does not require spaces; spaces can be used for clarity, so this is a stylistic variation, not a substantive error except for the stray symbol.
Option 2: "わたしはしんぶんをよみます。" This version uses the same core vocabulary in a more compact form with no spaces and a full-stop (。) at the end, which is standard for ending a sentence in Japanese. It conveys exactly the same meaning as option 1 and is clean and conventional for a Hiragana-only render.
In terms of validity, both options convey the same meaning and use correct grammar and vocabulary: subject (わたしは) + object marker (しんぶんを) + verb in polite present tense (よみます). The primary issue with option 1 is the stray symbol (￥) that disrupts the sentence and would be considered an error in writing. The spaces in option 1 are optional in Japanese text; some learners insert spaces between morphemes for readability, but it is less common in native-style writing.
Therefore, from a closest-accurate-translation perspective, option 2 is the cleaner and more standard rendering, while option 1 is acceptable in structure but tainted by the extraneous character. A learner should prefer option 2 for formal writing and instruction, and if choosing option 1 for testing, recognize the stray symbol as incorrect.
Note: Both options correctly use the verb よみます in the polite present tense, which matches the plain translation request. The sentence does not require kanji here since the instruction specifies Hiragana, so reading as ひらがな is appropriate.
If a rubric emphasizes exact punctuation, the correct form would typically end with a standard Japanese period (。) rather than a Western period, as seen in option 2.
