Correct Answer: teased and joked


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:

  • The original sentence contains a grammatical error. It uses "joking" as a present participle, but it should be "joked" to match the structure of the sentence.
  • In the revised sentence, "joked" is used instead of "joking." This correction ensures proper verb-tense agreement and maintains grammatical accuracy

Therefore, the corrected sentence is: Mihir teased and joked with Aastha until she started laughing.
