Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Neha’s younger brother accompanied her to the dentist on Monday.
Verbs that take their object directly:
- The object is the person or thing the action is done to. Some verbs are followed by their object directly, with no preposition in between.
- “Accompany” is one of them. In “accompanied her”, the object “her” comes straight after the verb.

Corrected: At the dhaba, the truck drivers ordered hot parathas and tea.
Option 3: Two stray dogs attacked on the postman near our gate yesterday. — Incorrect. The given sentence says “attacked on the postman”. The verb “attack” takes its object directly, without “on”.
