Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The error in the sentence is due to the repetition of the phrase "I enjoy". When listing activities or actions, we can use the conjunction "and" to connect them without repeating the subject and verb.

To maintain parallelism, "jogging" should be followed by "playing", as the gerund form of the verb needs to be followed by the gerund only.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I enjoy jogging and playing the piano.
