Option 1 : Avoid the puddles

The correct answer is "Avoid the puddles."

  • Sentences always begin with a subject and not with a verb.
  • Here, Avoid is used which is a verb. The erroneous part “Avoid the puddles” should be “ Avoiding the puddles”.
  • Here, Avoiding is a gerund that makes the sentence grammatically correct.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. ​

Correct Sentence: Avoiding the puddles caused by the downpour was quite a problem while I was driving.


  • A Gerund is a non-finite verb that functions as a noun. It is formed by adding ‘ing’ with a verb. (verb-ing) A gerund can be either the subject or object of a sentence. The gerund always has the same function as a noun.
    • Example: Dancing is a good exercise.
