Answer 1

Hint: A noun is a word that describes something (such as a person, animal, location, thing, quality, concept, or action) and is usually used as the subject or object of a verb or as the object of a preposition in a sentence.

Complete answer:
If we choose the option (A) to replace the underline word then the sentence will become- “After waking up in the morning, Mark has a glass of milk and a glass of fruit juice , but he enjoys the one more”, this sentence is incorrect because this sentence does not specify what Mark enjoys- a glass of milk or a glass of orange juice.

If we choose the option (B) to replace the underline word then the sentence will become- “After waking up in the morning, Mark has a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice, but he enjoys it more”, this option is not correct again because the sentence does not specify what Mark enjoys- a glass of milk or a glass of orange juice. Also, when we use the word ‘more’ it means that we are comparing something, in this case a glass of milk or a glass of orange juice and when we compare objects in a subject, we also have to specify what is ‘more’.

If we choose the option (C) to replace the underline word then the sentence will become- “After waking up in the morning, Mark has a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice, but he enjoys the beverage more”, this sentence is incorrect as both milk and orange juice are beverages therefore, this sentence also does not specify which beverage ark likes better.

If we choose the option (D) no change will be made the sentence will remain- “After waking up in the morning, Mark has a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice, but he enjoys the latter more”.
Pronouns must match the noun's number, point of view, and gender. The nouns in this case are 'milk' and 'fruit juice.' The appropriate pronoun for the first noun is 'the former,' while the pronoun for the second noun is 'the latter.' Therefore, this option is the write answer.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: A pronoun will replace a noun or noun phrase in a sentence. Pronouns ask either a previously described noun or a noun that doesn't got to be called explicitly.
