Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 'her, she write'.
The verb 'write' is in the present tense, but the sentence begins with 'When I saw', which is in the past tense.
To maintain tense consistency, 'write' should be changed to its past tense form — 'was writing' or 'wrote', depending on the context.
Here’s a breakdown of the other options:
'with full attention' – This phrase is grammatically correct.
'when I saw' – Correct usage of past tense.
'a poem' – This is a grammatically correct noun phrase.
