Question
Direction: In the sentence given below, a part is
highlighted and suggestions for its correction are given below the sentence. Choose the correct option, which can improve the original sentence without changing its meaning. If the highlighted part is correct, select ‘No improvement required’ as your answer. The chef’s and the artist's passion drove them to push creative boundaries. A. The chef and the artist's passion B. The chef’s and the artist's passions C. The chef and artist’s passionSolution
In option A ("The chef and the artist's passion"), the possessive form is correctly used for both the chef and the artist. In option B ("The chef’s and the artist's passions"), the possessive form is again correctly used for both the chef and the artist, but it uses the plural form "passions" to indicate that each of them has their own passions. Option C ("The chef and artist’s passion") Here, THE is not used before ‘artist’ showing that the same person is CHEF as well as ARTIST, but the original sentence uses THEM, showing that two different people are being referred to here.
