Hint:

The customs followed in Sri Lanka are very similar to the South of India. Choose the best alternative to complete the sentence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The original sentence compares ”customs” (plural) to a region (”the South of In dia”). We need to compare customs to customs. Option (4) correctly uses ”those” (referring to customs) and clarifies the comparison: customs are similar to customs followed elsewhere.- Rejecting Distractors:- (1) uses ”that” (singular) for ”customs” (plural). (2) has the same issue. (3) is grammatically awkward (”South of India’s customs” is less natural than ”customs of the South of India” or ”customs followed in...”).
