Answer: Option B. -> on going totick.pngcross.png
The original sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning. However, adding the phrase "on going to" after "agreed" would make the sentence more effective and flow better.
Explanation:
  • The phrase "on going to" implies that Rama agreed to do something specific after arriving in Madras, which gives the sentence more clarity and detail.
  • Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they all change the sentence structure and do not improve the clarity or effectiveness of the sentence.
  • Option E is incorrect because it does not make any changes to the original sentence, and adding the phrase "on going to" would make the sentence more effective.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "on going to". The revised sentence would read: "Most willingly Rama agreed to go to Madras on going to remain there for a month."
