Which of the following sentences is correctly formed?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → The man who repairs our scooter runs a small garage near the bus stand.
One subject for one verb:
- The subject here is “The man who repairs our scooter”. It is long, but it is still one subject.
- The verb “runs” follows it directly. We do not add “he” again before the verb.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Our cricket coach speaks fluently Tamil and Kannada. — Incorrect. An adverb does not come between a verb and its object. “Fluently” must come after “Tamil and Kannada”.
Corrected: Our cricket coach speaks Tamil and Kannada fluently.
Option 3: The final was played between India to Australia in front of a full stadium. — Incorrect. “Between” goes with “and”, not “to”.
Corrected: The final was played between India and Australia in front of a full stadium.
Option 4: The bank opened until eleven because of a problem with its server. — Incorrect. Opening happens at one moment, so it cannot go on “until eleven”. We say it “did not open until” eleven.
Corrected: The bank did not open until eleven because of a problem with its server.
