AI Explanation

The first pairing is correct. Executive Law §132 sets the fee for a certificate of official character at $1, and Executive Law §133 sets the county clerk’s authentication certificate fee at $3. The other options are built from neighboring New York fee amounts: a protest is 75 cents, each additional protest notice is 10 cents up to five, and both an oath and an acknowledgment by one person are $2.
