Answer 2

A sentence to make a complete meaningful sentence without absurdities has to contain articles, participles, right verb tenses, punctuation, etc.

Explanation:

A sentence to make a complete meaningful sentence without absurdities has to contain articles, determiners, participles, right verb tenses, punctuation, right pronoun usage, proper voice of the sentence, etc.

• He drove the car for an hour.

The word drove already describes the sentence is in past tense hence had is the unnecessary word.

• You ought to abstain yourself from drinking.

The sentence lacks the preposition to. It specifies what is the subject expected to do.

• Reading books gave him pleasure.

There preposition of is unnecessary in the sentence. The act done is clear, reading books is the right usage.

 

• He is junior to me.

The word than is used in comparison but here a fact is stated hence the preposition to is used.

• Each of these boys have done their homework.​

As the sentence has plural subjects the boys so the participle should be a plural. Has is a singular whereas have is plural.
