Question
In the following question, a sentence is given with a
phrase highlighted in bold. Select the option given below that can replace the phrase in bold to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct and mark that as your answer. If the sentence is correct as it is, then mark 'No correction required', as the answer. The priest is visiting our mansion today to dance a ritual for which this prayer gathering has been called and hundreds of people are coming for the same.Solution
(c) A priest cannot 'dance' a ritual, rather a ritual is 'performed' by a priest. Thus, the usage of the verb 'dance' renders the statement contextually incorrect. Thus, 'dance' must be replaced with 'perform'. The only option with this correction is option (c) and thus all other options are eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
