If the sentence needs no improvement, choose ‘No Improvement’ as your answer. A garden is the only place in the house which calm senses and gives a pleasing feeling to mind and body. Correct Answer calms senses
The correct solution is option 2 i.e. ‘calms senses’.
- In the sentence, ‘A garden’ is a singular noun so the verb used must also be singular.
- ‘calms’ is a singular verb so it must be the correct solution. It is used before a plural noun ‘senses’ which means all the feelings or a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus.
Other options are rejected because:
- ‘Calming senses’ is in the continuous tense.
- ‘calm’ is a plural verb.
So the correct sentence is - A garden is the only place in the house which calms senses and gives a pleasing feeling to mind and body.
