    Question

    Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
    The ability to read old Sanskrit scriptures (in today's world seems like a lost art).

    A.

    No correction required

    B.

    in todays' world seems like a lost art

    C.

    in today's world seem like a lost art.

    D.

    in today's world seem like an lost art

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) is the correct choice – No correction required.
    Explanation:
    The subject of the sentence is “The ability” (singular), so the verb “seems” is correct. The possessive “today’s” is correctly punctuated.
    Correct sentence:
    The ability to read old Sanskrit scriptures in today’s world seems like a lost art.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (b) todays' – incorrect possessive form (apostrophe misplaced)
    · (c) seem – verb does not agree with singular subject “ability”
    · (d) an lost art – article “an” is incorrect before consonant-sound “lost”
