Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem of adding the numbers $32$ and $89$ using vertical addition, we will proceed as follows:

First, write the numbers vertically, ensuring their digits are aligned as follows:

   32
+  89
------

Now, let's add the numbers column by column:

Add the rightmost column (units column):
$2 + 9 = 11$ Since 11 is greater than 9, we write down 1 in the units place and carry over 1 to the tens column.
Add the tens column:
Add the numbers in the tens place (3 and 8) with the carryover of 1: $3 + 8 + 1 = 12$ Place 2 in the tens place and write down 1 in the hundreds place.

Therefore, lining it up nicely, the sum can be calculated as:

   32
+  89
------
  121

Thus, the result of adding $32$ and $89$ is $121$ .

The correct choice is Choice 1: $\boxed{121}$ .
