Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (B) and (C) Only
(A) According to the draft rules, social media platforms must seek verification from a proposed self regulatory body. — Correct.
- The plural subject takes the modal must + base verb seek.
- The sentence is grammatical.
(B) Hally War was just 10 when an idea took root in his mind. — Correct.
- Both clauses are in the simple past (was, took root), and "take root" is used correctly for an idea that begins to grow.
(C) 'Tadok' is a term used by the Adi community and also means a necklace made with colourful beads. — Correct.
- The singular subject 'Tadok' agrees with is and means.
- The sentence is grammatical.
(D) Sania Mirza had been decided to draw curtains on her illustrious career at next month's Dubai Tennis Championship. — Incorrect.
- A person decides.
- "Had been decided" is passive and makes Sania Mirza the thing decided.
- With "next month", the sentence needs "has decided".
- Correct form: Sania Mirza has decided to draw the curtains on her illustrious career at next month's Dubai Tennis Championship.
