D) Do you like reading books?

Answer 1

Hint:
-Sentences have to be grammatically correct.
-Sentences are generally characterised by the inclusion of a finite verb in most languages.
-A sentence consists of words that are grouped meaningfully in order to portray a question, statement, exclamation, order, request, or even a suggestion.

Complete answer:
Sentence is a set of words that is complete in itself, normally containing both a subject and predicate, conveying a question, question, exclamation or command, that consists of a main clause and sometimes more than one sub-clauses. The sentence begins with a capital letter (first alphabet of the first word) and ends with a full stop (or period), an exclamation mark or a question mark. Here is an example: She is singing a song.

Following are the given alternatives:
A) “I am like reading books” is not a correct sentence. The sentence is written as “I like reading books” by omitting am. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
B) “You likes reading books” is not a correct construction of a sentence, one can write it either as I like reading books or Do you like reading books?. Thus, Option B is incorrect.
C) “You have liked to read books” can be written correctly as I have liked to read books or Have you liked to read books?. Thus, Option C is incorrect.
D) Do you like reading books? is a correct sentence. The sentence is grammatically connected in a right manner and fulfills all the properties of a sentence. Thus, Option D is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

Note:
i) A simple sentence consists of a single, independent clause without dependent clauses.
ii) A compound sentence consists of a number of independent clauses with no dependent clauses. These clauses are joined together by a combination, punctuation, or both.
iii) A complex sentence can be understood as a sentence which is made up of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
iv) A compound–complex sentence consists of several independent clauses, at least one of which has at least one dependent clause.
