Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) - B only
The sentence is:
"Copernicus proved that Earth moves round the sun."
Let’s check each part:
A. Copernicus proved → Correct.
B. that Earth → Incorrect, because "the Earth" should be used (Earth here is treated as a proper noun but with the definite article when talking about the planet in astronomy).
C. moves → Correct, present tense is fine since it’s a universal truth.
D. round → Correct, means "around."
E. the sun → Correct.
✅ Error is in B only.
Correct Sentence:
Copernicus proved that the Earth moves round the sun.
