Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. congratulates her.

  • As the subject(Aanya’s class teacher and her friends) is plural it will be followed by the plural verb.
  • We need to replace "Congratulates" with "congratulate" for making the sentence grammatically correct.
