Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.

Instead should be used at the end of the sentence to make it grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning that the speaker ended up watching a movie instead of studying.

Therefore, the correct statement should be, "I sat down to do my assignment. I watched a movie instead."
