Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is C Only d
Of all the given options, only option 'd' is correct in terms of grammar, punctuation, spelling and usage. Whereas other options are incorrect, following mentioned are the errors in each of the other options.

option A: 'Zero valley' in the sentence is a proper noun, therefore correct article to be used before it is 'the' and not 'a'.

option B; 'for' is not the appropriate preposition in the sentence, instead 'in' should be used here.

Option C; 'delicacy' is incorrect here, it should be replaced by 'delicacies' as the sentence refers to a number of delicacies of which one is cooked rice.

Option E: 'brewd' is spelled wrongly here, the correct spelling is 'brewed'.

Therefore option C 'only d' is the correct answer.
