Correct statement by changing underline part of sentence
Aldehydes can act as strong reducing agents since they themselves can be `ul("reduced easily")`.

Explanation

To correct the statement, we need to replace the underlined part "reduced easily" with "oxidized easily". Here’s the step-by-step solution:

1. **Identify the Original Statement**: The original statement is "Aldehydes can act as strong reducing agents since they themselves can be reduced easily."

2. **Understand the Concept**: Aldehydes are indeed strong reducing agents. This means they can donate electrons to other substances, causing those substances to be reduced. However, in the process, aldehydes themselves are oxidized to carboxylic acids.

3. **Replace the Underlined Part**: Since the statement incorrectly states that aldehydes can be "reduced easily", we need to change this to reflect that they can be "oxidized easily".
