If no improvement is required and the sentence is correct in its original form, then mark option 5 i.e., 'no improvement required' as the answer.Solution
The phrasal verb "blew out" is incorrect in this context, as it typically means to extinguish or burst (like a tire). The correct phrasal verb is "blew away," which means to astonish or deeply impress someone. Blew off: This means to ignore or dismiss. Blew over: This means for something (usually a problem or issue) to subside or be forgotten. Blew up: This means to explode or become angry.    Â
