Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. to sold their land

  • The given sentence is gramatically wrong and 'to sell their land' should be used in place of 'to sold their land'.
  • The pronoun 'his' should be used.
  • After 'to' the base form of the verb should be used i.e. in this case it will be 'sell'.

Clearly the correct sentence is-

Raman went with his wife to the village to sell their land.

The correct answer is-

to sold their land
