Correct Answer: encourage people to read books


Solution : The first option is correct.

The verb form used in the sentence is incorrect, as encouraging should be replaced with encourage to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as the base form of the verb should be used with the subject 'I' as per the simple present tense because the sentence is talking about a habitual action of encouraging people to read books that the speaker has enjoyed.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "I always encourage people to read books which I have enjoyed reading myself".
