How many / languages do / most children / in India known?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. in India known.
The usage of the word 'known' is incorrect. It should be replaced by 'know'.
In this interrogative sentence, the correct structure is "do + subject + base form of the verb." Therefore, "know" is the correct base form of the verb to use after "do." The corrected sentence maintains proper subject-verb agreement and follows the standard structure for forming questions in English.
Correct sentence: How many / languages do / most children / in India know?
