Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
He enjoy going in a jog in the morning to start his day on a healthy note.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. enjoys going for a jog.
Error Concept: Related to subject-verb agreement and correct use of preposition with the phrase "go for a jog".
What is wrong: The verb “enjoy” is incorrectly used with the singular subject “He”. Also, the preposition “in” is incorrect in this context.
Grammar Concept:
-
When the subject is singular (He/She/It), the verb must take the -s form in the Simple Present Tense → “enjoy” becomes “enjoys”.
-
The correct phrase is “go for a jog”, not “go in a jog” or “go at a jog”.
Incorrectness of the concept in context:
The sentence uses “He enjoy” instead of “He enjoys” and “in a jog” instead of “for a jog”, which violates basic subject-verb agreement and common collocation.
Correction: “enjoy” should be replaced with “enjoys” and “in a jog” with “for a jog”.
Corrected phrase: enjoys going for a jog
Final sentence: He enjoys going for a jog in the morning to start his day on a healthy note.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
