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.
