Answer 1

Hint: To answer the question, one must understand the coherence of the sentence. One must be able to make sense of what the sentence might mean.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Option A has absolutely no coherence, waste of playing makes no sense in any context, hence it is an incorrect option. Option B, to begin with, “they that feel” is incorrect placement of verbs and pronouns, then there is no coherence in the rest of the sentence either, hence, option b is incorrect. Option C might seem like a coherent statement, but this cannot be how a statement begins, sentences can start with “that” when the context has been established, in the middle of a paragraph, not as an independent sentence, hence it is also an incorrect option. Option D suggests “they” feel that the activity of playing is a waste of time, which is coherent, hence it is correct. Only option d is correct.

Note: Here, one must be very cautious of the coherence of the sentence, especially, since one of the options may be confusing.
