Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

My daughter participate

Solution :

The correct answer is My daughter participate.


Explanation:

The sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement in the first segment: "My daughter participate".


1. The subject of the sentence is "My daughter", which is a third-person singular noun.

2. According to the rules of simple present tense, a singular subject requires a singular verb ending in '-s' or '-es' (e.g., "participates").

3. Therefore, the base verb form "participate" is grammatically incorrect here and should be replaced with "participates".


Corrected Sentence:

"My daughter participates in the dance competition that is organised every year by the Lion’s Club."
