Answer 1

Hint: The student should read the sentence carefully to understand when the event is supposed to be taking place. Then the options should be carefully distinguished to find out whether they are correct or not.

Complete answer:
For this answer, the to-infinitive will be used in order to express purpose after the verb is followed by a noun.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (A), 'and watching', refers to ‘watching’ which is used for a singular subject. Therefore, option (A) is incorrect as ‘students’ is a plural subject.

Option (B), ‘to watch', refers to ‘watch’ which is used for a plural subject. Therefore, option (B) is correct as ‘students’ is a plural subject.

Option (C), ‘to watching', ‘watching’ which is used for a singular subject. Therefore, option (C) is incorrect as ‘students’ is a plural subject.

Option (D), ‘for watch', refers to ‘for’ before watch. Therefore, option (D) is incorrect as for is a preposition which indicates direction. To is the preposition which should be used here, as it indicates purpose.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of a notice. A notice is an announcement containing information about an event. It is usually written in future tense in the third person.
