(C) We can rewrite the expression as: $\sum_{n=1}^{20} \left[ \sin \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} ight) - i \cos \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} ight) ight] = -i \sum_{n=1}^{20} \left[ \cos \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} ight) + i \sin \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} ight) ight]$.Using Euler's formula,$e^{i	heta} = \cos 	heta + i \sin 	heta$,the expression becomes $-i \sum_{n=1}^{20} e^{i(2n\pi/21)}$.Let $\omega = e^{i(2\pi/21)}$. Then the sum is $-i \sum_{n=1}^{20} \omega^n$.This is a geometric series with $20$ terms,where the first term is $\omega$ and the common ratio is $\omega$.The sum is $\omega \frac{1-\omega^{20}}{1-\omega}$.Since $\omega^{21} = e^{i(2\pi)} = 1$,we have $\omega^{20} = \omega^{-1} = \frac{1}{\omega}$.Thus,the sum is $-i \left( \frac{\omega - \omega^{21}}{1-\omega} ight) = -i \left( \frac{\omega - 1}{1-\omega} ight) = -i (-1) = i$.

$\sum_{n=1}^{20} \left[ \sin \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} \right) - i \cos \left( \frac{2n\pi}{21} \right) \right] = $
