Question

Which of the following sentences is CORRECT?-

• A. He eats eggs as well as fish.
• B. He eat eggs as well as fish.
• C. He eaten eggs as well as fishes.
• D. He eats egg as well as fishes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Correct Usage of Singular and Plural Forms in a Sentence 

Step 1: Understanding the Rule

The sentence refers to two items: eggs and fish.

• The subject "he" requires the verb "eats" in the present tense.
• When listing items, the second noun ("fish") does not need to be plural unless referring to a specific number.

Step 2: Applying the Rule

The correct sentence should be:

"He eats eggs as well as fish."

Step 3: Eliminating Incorrect Options

• "Fish" can be both singular and plural, but in this context, keeping it singular is more natural.
• Other variations that pluralize "fish" unnecessarily do not follow standard usage.

Final Answer:

Thus, the correct answer is (A) "He eats eggs as well as fish."
