Is Savita is joining us for lunch today?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Is Savita joining us for lunch today?

  • The original sentence contains a double use of the verb "is".
  • In English, when forming a question using the auxiliary verb "is," it is not correct to repeat the verb "is" after the subject "Savita."
  • Thus, the correct sentence should be the one without the repetition of "is" after the subject "Savita."

The correct form of the question is: Is Savita joining us for lunch today?
