Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
The word "appreciated" is the past form of the verb "appreciate" as it agrees with the tense of the sentence. To maintain parallelism in the sentence, the verb "sat" (past form) should be followed by the verb "appreciated" (past form), as they are connected by the linking word "and".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be, "We sat on the floor to eat dinner, and he appreciated the fresh food my mother served."
