Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B) and (C) only
(A) The neighbours accused the painter for leaving wet paint all over the stairs. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “accused ... for”.
- We accuse a person of doing something wrong.
- Correct form: The neighbours accused the painter of leaving wet paint all over the stairs.
(B) Rehan is one of those boys who never miss a single practice session. — Correct.
- Here “who” stands for “those boys”, which is plural. So the plural verb “miss” is right.
(C) We are looking forward to visiting our grandparents in Kerala during the Onam holidays. — Correct.
- In “look forward to”, “to” is followed by an -ing word, so “visiting” is right.
(D) The rope was not enough long to reach the water at the bottom of the well. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “enough long”.
- “Enough” comes after an adjective, not before it.
- Correct form: The rope was not long enough to reach the water at the bottom of the well.
