Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. He used to sits day and night.
The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the Verb.
Concept-
- We need to replace "sits" with "sit" for making the statement grammatically correct.
- As the modal (used to) takes the base form of the verb after it we need to use the base form of the verb.
- So we need to use "sit" at the place of "sits".
The correct sentence will be-
He used to sit day and night under a tree in front of a temple that is how he earned the name.
