Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution :
The correct answer is the
third option.
The sentence should use the past tense because the action happened in the past. So, it should be "caught fire" instead of "catches fire" to maintain proper tense consistency, as per parallelism.
Therefore, the correct statement should be: "Foolishly Rama threw some water on the electric heater when it
caught
fire, and he got a shock."
