Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option because "adopted to" should be replaced with "adapted to" which means to adjust to fit well within a particular environment and convey the intended meaning that the book is modified to suit the needs of beginners.
Adopted means to take something as one's own whereas adapted means to make something suitable for a particular purpose, which is the intended meaning here. Even though adapted for is grammatically correct adapted to is more appropriate in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "This book is adapted to the needs of beginners."
