Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (D) Only
(A) Sanju like drinking tea in the evening. — Incorrect.
- A singular subject in the simple present takes the verb with -s.
- Correct form: Sanju likes drinking tea in the evening.
(B) What do you want for lunch? — Correct.
- The question is properly formed with the helping verb do before the subject "you".
(C) Romulus was a great ruler of the West. — Correct.
- Subject, verb and complement agree.
(D) Bruno's ferocious leads to his downfall. — Incorrect.
- After the possessive "Bruno's" a noun is needed, but "ferocious" is an adjective.
- Correct form: Bruno's ferocity leads to his downfall.
(E) Casper was fond of his master. — Correct.
- Fond of is the right adjective-preposition pair.
