Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The correct pair of correlative conjunctions should be used to convey the intended meaning of the sentence with grammatical accuracy. The phrase "both history as well as literature" should be replaced with "both history and literature" to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as "both" and "and" act as correlative conjunctions when used together.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Professor Lal teaches both history and literature each semester.
