Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. It is a metaphor for experience joy within.
The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of the noun.
Concept-
- We need to replace "experience" with "experiencing" to make the statement grammatically correct.
- As "for" is a preposition, it takes a noun after it but "joy" is an object which needs a verb before it. we need to use a gerund.
- So we need to use "experiencing" in place of "experience".
The correct sentence will be- When you drink the sweet coconut water, it is a metaphor for experiencing joy within, free of ego and other hassles.
