Question

printed in bold type, which may be correct or erroneous. Each sentence is followed by four words. Find out which is the correct word that should replace the error in bold, if there is any, and which makes the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and âNo improvement requiredâ, mark option 5 âNo improvement requiredâ as the answer. Back in the days when tennisâ Davis Cup was played extensively on the home-and-away format right until the final, it was one of sportâs grander spectacles.Solution
The word "extensively" in the sentence is used incorrectly. The sentence should describe the format of the Davis Cup, not the extent of its play. The correct word to use here is "exclusively," which means the Davis Cup was played only in a home-and-away format.
Back in the days when tennisâ Davis Cup was played exclusively on the home-and-away format right until the final, it was one of sportâs grander spectacles.
