Question
In the question given below, three sentences are given
with one phrase bold in each. From the options given choose the one with the phrase that can replace the bold part in each of the three sentences without making the sentence grammatically and contextually incorrect and mark that as your answer. If all the bold phrases are correct mark 'No correction required' as your answer I. The men were then seconded to Britain to assemble the intricately carved blocks of stone that even out the temple building. II. We are hoping to patch up time on the return journey by not stopping at night. III. It would put added pressure on institutions to using up their holdings by buying in the market.Solution
(c) In statement I, the phrase âeven outâ means âto become levelâ. The sentence implies that the stone constitutes the temple. So, the phrase does not make any sense. In statement II, the phrase âpatch upâ is incorrectly used. It means âto deal with (a problem, disagreement, etc.) in order to improve or repair a relationshipâ The sentence implies that they wanted to compensate the missed time. So, the phrase does not make any sense. In statement III, present participle âusingâ is incorrectly used after preposition âtoâ. Hence, it is incorrect as well. The phrase âmake upâ means â(of parts) compose or constitute a whole; compensate for something lost, missed, or deficient; put together or prepare something from parts â. It goes with the context of the sentences given above. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
