Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
We sat on the floor to eat dinner, and he (appreciate) the fresh food my mother served.
- had appreciated
- appreciated
- will appreciate
- No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
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."
