    Question

    Of the four options given, choose the most appropriate one.

    A She advised him to focus on his studies. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B She advises him for focusing on his studies. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C She advise him to focus on his studies. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D She advising him to focus on his studies. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Option (1) correctly uses the past tense verb "advised" and follows the structure for reported speech.
    Option (2) is incorrect because "advises" is present tense and "for focusing" is not the correct form. It should be "to focus."
    Option (3) is incorrect as "advise" is used without the necessary tense modification. It should be "advised" to match the subject.
    Option (4) is incorrect because "advising" is a present participle and requires a helping verb (e.g., "is advising").
    Therefore, Option (1) is the most appropriate and grammatically correct option.
