Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.

The word " appreciated" is the past form of the verb " appreciate" as it agrees with the tense of the sentence. To maintain parallelism in the sentence, the verb " sat" (past form) should be followed by the verb " appreciated" (past form), as they are connected by the linking word " and".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be, "We sat on the floor to eat dinner, and he appreciated the fresh food my mother served."
