Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
I like to read books, but my brother prefers to watching movies.
Option 1: in watching
Option 2: to watch
Option 3: on watching
Option 4: No substitution
Correct Answer: to watch
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation : The original sentence contains a grammatical error. When using prefer , it should be followed by the base form of the verb, not the " - ing" form. The correct construction is "prefers to watch " where watch is the base form of the verb. This correction ensures grammatical accuracy in expressing the preference for watching movies.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I like to read books, but my brother prefers to watch movies.
