Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The original sentence "Simple Simon, sit right down to eat the yummy pie" contains an error in the verb tense. Since this sentence describes an action in the past, it should use the past tense form of the verb, which is sat . So, sat right down is the correct choice.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Simple Simon sat right down to eat the yummy pie."
