Question

Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.
I gives him some orange juice from the refrigerator.

A.

gave him some

B.

gives him any

C.

given him some

D.

No improvement required

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) gave him some.
Explanation: The subject “I” is in the first person and should take the base form of the verb in the past simple tense if the action already happened.
The use of “gives” is incorrect here, as “gives” is present tense and third-person singular (used with “he”, “she”, “it”).
Correct sentence: I gave him some orange juice from the refrigerator.
Grammatical rule used:
Subject-verb agreement: The subject “I” in simple past tense takes the second form of verb (V2), not the present tense form.
Example: I gave him a pen. (correct)
He gives him a pen. (present tense with third-person subject)
