Below each question are five options out of which any in four options may replace the emboldened part. If the sentence does not require any improvement, choose option 5, ‘No improvement required’.

Crowds began to hound to hear his speeches.

      iii.            Began to flock

A Only ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Both i and ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Both ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D i, ii and iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Hound means to pursue something but the sentence does not make a sense with it. Hence it needs to be replaced with a word which means collect or come together. Muster, gather and flock mean the same.
