Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
The reason for this improvement is that went out to play is the correct expression to indicate someone leaving his current location to engage in recreational activities.
Goes out for playing and goes out for play are not the appropriate phrases and verb forms for this context.
In this context, we should use the infinitive form of the verb play after the phrase went out, which is the correct sentence structure.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Although he was tired, he went out to play".
