I find that students nowadays are not interested in _________ letters by hand.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. writing.
"Interested in" is followed by a gerund (-ing form of a verb).
After "interested in," we use a gerund (writing) rather than an infinitive (to write).
"Writing letters by hand" is a natural phrase. The phrase "writing letters by hand" specifically refers to the act of manually composing letters with a pen or pencil, which contrasts with typing on a computer.
Hence, the correct sentence is:-"I find that students nowadays are not interested in writing letters by hand."
