I gives him some orange juice from the refrigerator.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option: 1 i.e gave him some.

  • The given sentence is in the present tense and contains an error in subject-verb agreement.
  • The word "gives" is incorrect because it is a present tense verb that agrees with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).
  • In this sentence, the subject is "I," which is a first-person singular pronoun, and the verb should be "give" to match the subject.

The correct sentence is:

"I give him some orange juice from the refrigerator," and no further improvement is required.
