Hint:

When checking sentence correction, always ensure there is a proper subject and finite verb. Fragments like "being recognized" or "recognizing" are incomplete without a main clause.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Check grammatical structure. The given sentence in its original form (and options a, b, c) is either incomplete or awkwardly structured. They sound like sentence fragments. Step 2: Review the options. - (a) Incorrect: "Entertainment being recognized …" is incomplete; it lacks a finite verb. - (b) Incorrect: Awkward and ungrammatical ("Recognition of it being … entertainment reduces …"). - (c) Incorrect: "Recognizing entertainment …" again is not a complete main clause; it leaves the idea hanging. - (d) Correct: "Entertainment is recognized …" is a complete, clear sentence with subject + verb + object. Step 3: Rewrite correctly. The best standard form is: "Entertainment is recognized as an important factor in improving mental and physical health and thereby reducing human misery and poverty." \[ \boxed{\text{Entertainment is recognized …}} \]
