Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: and kept it in the dashboard
Solution : The third option is correct.
The sentence is giving general information, where the simple present tense is used. Thus, kept should be changed to the singular present tense form keeps. The sentence also contains incorrect use of the preposition on, as in should be used because the phone is placed on the surface. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "While driving, Satheesh always switches off his mobile phone and keeps it on the dashboard."
