The annual seed festival hosted in Auroville promote sharing of traditional knowledge and sustainable farming practices.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. promotes sharing of traditional.

The correct option is "promotes sharing of traditional" because the singular subject "The annual seed festival" requires the singular verb "promotes."

Additionally, "traditional knowledge" is the proper phrase to describe knowledge passed down through traditions.

The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement error, and the other options either misuse forms like "traditionally" or alter the intended meaning.
