Answer 1

Answer:

The given sentence talks about a particular activity (i.e playing cricket) which happens on Sundays i.e a habitual activity. The simple present tense is used to express a habitual action. The simple present tense form of the verb is 'play' or 'plays'. The word, 'play' (without the letter 's') is used when a plural noun is the subject. The word, 'plays' (with the letter 's') is used when a singular noun is the subject. In the given sentence, the subject, 'Megha' is a singular noun.

Given the reasons above, option A is incorrect. The appropriate verb is 'plays' as given in option B.

Option C: The verb 'playing' is grammatically incorrect. It has to be used along with an auxiliary like 'is', 'was', 'were' or 'has/have been'.

Option D: The phrase 'did played' is grammatically incorrect as the auxiliary, 'did' is used along with the simple present tense form of the verb (and not past tense form i.e played).
