www.allindiajobs.in
 www.allindiajobs.in

B. cosy and warmth enfolds you

C. cosiness and warmth enfolds you

D. cosiness and warmth is enfolding you

Answer: Option C

Solution:

The last part is the main clause of the second sentence 'the moment

in
you'. Hence it needs a finite verb. The sentence needs a verb in the

s.
ob
present tense. Hence 'enfolds' should replace 'enfolding'. Also
aj
'cosy and warm' is the subject which has to be given in the noun
di

form. The correction is 'cosiness and warmth enfolds you'.
