Question
In the question below, a sentence is given which has a
blank, meaning something has been omitted. From the options below, choose the correct combination of phrases that can fit in the blank to make the sentence grammatically and meaningfully correct. Opportunities for leisure activities _______ as real wages grew and hours of work declined. 1. Having increased at a dramatic pace 2. Increased dramatically 3. Showed a dramatic increaseSolution
The sentence tells us how opportunities for leisure activities showed a rise due to the growth of real wages and decline in the hours of work. Both 2 and 3 will fit here to convey the requisite meaning. Thus, (d) is the right answer. 1 is incorrect as the present participle construction HAVING + VERB is used to link two clauses, which is not needed here since AS has already been used to link the clauses.
