Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The aroma of the invigorate morning cup of tea comes.

The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

Concept-

  • We need to replace 'invigorate' with 'invigorating' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • 'Morning' is a noun which requires an adjective before it.
  • V4 i.e. 'invigorating' is used as an adjective.
  • So we need to use 'invigorating at the place of 'invigorate'.

The correct sentence will be-

The aroma of the invigorating morning cup of tea comes wafting up the stairway and soon I am sipping it slowly and reverentially without rushing.
