Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The phrase "used to sits" is incorrect. "Used to" indicates a habitual action in the past and is followed by the base form of the verb so, "sit" is the correct form to be used. "Sits" is the present tense, but in this context, it is incorrect to use it as modals are followed by the base form of the verb.

So, the correct sentence is: He used to sit day and night under a tree in front of a temple; that is how he earned the name.
