Some children are not able to distinguish good and evil.

The book is interesting, informative and easy to read.

Correct Answer:

The book is interesting, informative and easy to read.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → The book is interesting, informative and easy to read.

  • He seized opportunity offered to him: This sentence needs a definite article ("the") before "opportunity" because it refers to a specific opportunity that was presented to him. So a corrected version would be: "He seized the opportunity offered to him."
  • Sham went out to play Mohan stayed at home to work: This sentence needs a comma after "play" to separate the two independent clauses. So a corrected version would be: "Sham went out to play, Mohan stayed at home to work."
  • Some children are not able to distinguish good and evil: This sentence should use "between" instead of "and" because "distinguish" implies comparing two things. So a corrected version would be: "Some children are not able to distinguish between good and evil."
