Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - (A) and (D) Only

 

  • (A) Sanju like drinking tea in the evening.

    • Incorrect: The verb "like" is incorrect because the subject "Sanju" is singular and should take the singular verb "likes."
    • Correct sentence: Sanju likes drinking tea in the evening.
  • (B) What do you want for lunch?

    • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct. The verb and structure are appropriate for a question.
  • (C) Romulus was a great ruler of the West.

    • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct. It properly uses the past tense "was" and has no errors in structure.

  • (E) Casper was fond of his master.

    • Correct: This sentence is grammatically correct. The verb and structure are appropriate.
