His grandfather finds a tiny tiger cub in the forest and brought his home.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. brings it home.
- The underlined segment "and brought his home" contains an error. The verb "brought" is in the past tense, but the sentence is in the present tense, so the verb should be in the present tense as well.
- Therefore, the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment is: "and brings it home."
- This changes the verb to present tense and also adds the pronoun "it" to refer to the tiny tiger cub.
- The corrected sentence would be: "His grandfather finds a tiny tiger cub in the forest and brings it home."
