Correct Answer :

Option A

A

A

Solution :

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step Explanation:
1. Identify the Subject and Verb: In part (A) of the sentence, the subject is "Sam" and the verb is "enjoy".
2. Analyze Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "Sam" is a singular noun (third-person singular). Under the rules of subject-verb agreement, a singular subject in the simple present tense requires a singular verb.
3. Correct the Error: The base form "enjoy" is plural. The singular form of the verb is "enjoys". Therefore, "enjoy" must be corrected to "enjoys" to agree with the singular subject "Sam".
4. Resulting Sentence: The grammatically correct sentence is: "Sam enjoys spending his evenings sitting and talking with friends, finding joy in conversations."
