Answer 1

The correct sentences are as follows-

a) Games and sports help in recreation.

b) Cricket is watched by millions of fans all over the world.

c) Rajan slowly settled down in his retired life.

d) Has anyone attended the function?

e) My grandmother and I was good at drawing pictures.​

• In the first sentence, the subject is plural and so the verb has to be plural too.
• The 'world' denotes a specific word instead of a general one. So, a definite article would be used.
• The event of settling down has occurred in the past, so past tense is used.

• The word 'anyone' suggests that the sentence talks of a single person and thus, has will be used.
