Question
In the following question, a sentence is given with a
phrase or idiom highlighted in bold. Select the option given below that can replace the highlighted phrase and mark that as your answer. He found that the rest of the money were swept away by the officials and police.Solution
(a) 'Money' is an uncountable noun. So, the plural auxiliary verb 'were' cannot be used with the noun 'money'. So, the highlighted part of the sentence is wrong. Options (b), (c) and (d) are also eliminated for the same reason. Option (a) is the one that fits correctly in the sentence as it gives coherent meaning to the sentence. The phrase 'swept away' means to destroy or remove. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
