      In the following questions, a part of the sentence has

      been highlighted. Choose the most appropriate replacement from the given options. If no improvement is required, choose the option accordingly. The judge’s sentence were perfectly fair in the circumstances.
      A Was perfectly just Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Was just perfectly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Was perfectly fare Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Was just perfect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No substitution Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The subject: → “sentence” is singular. Thus: → “were” is grammatically incorrect. Correct verb: → “was” Additionally, legal context prefers: → “just” rather than merely “fair.” “Perfectly just” conveys: judicial appropriateness, moral and legal correctness. Why others fail: (b) awkward adverb placement (c) “fare” is incorrect spelling (d) “perfect” weakens judicial precision (e) original sentence contains subject-verb error Hence, option (a).
