Question
In each question below, a sentence is given with a part of it printed in bold and underlined. That part may contain a grammatical error. Each sentence is followed by phrases
a),
b),
c) and
d). Find out which phrase should replace the phrase given in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and ‘No correction is required’, mark
e) as the answer. What distinguishes effective leadership in times of crisis is the ability to take off decisions calmly under pressure.
Solution
The correct idiomatic expression is “to take decisions.” Other options introduce incorrect or irrelevant prepositions (take off, take about, take down), which distort the intended meaning.
