He replied mine letter after a month.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. replied to my letter
- In the sentence "He replied mine letter after a month," the phrase "mine letter" is incorrect because "mine" is not the proper possessive form to use with "letter." The correct possessive adjective to use in this context is "my."
- Additionally, the preposition "to" is needed after "replied" to indicate the object of the reply.
- So the corrected sentence is: He replied to my letter after a month.
