Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: both tea and coffee

Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because it maintains the original meaning and structure of the sentence while emphasizing that the speaker likes both tea and coffee. It combines the two preferences without changing the sequence or meaning of the sentence. This option is the most appropriate choice for the context.

tea to coffee

  • This option suggests a change in preference from tea to coffee, which alters the meaning of the sentence. It implies that the speaker initially liked tea but has now switched to coffee. This change in meaning is not in line with the original sentence's intention, so it is not a suitable improvement.

tea after coffee

  • This option also changes the meaning of the sentence. It implies a sequential order of preference, suggesting that the speaker first likes coffee and then likes tea. Again, this alteration in meaning is not consistent with the original sentence, so it is not a suitable improvement.
