      Question

      Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III)

      given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold letters to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) i.e., 'No correction required'; as the answer. Admissions officers, who once accepted nearly all comers with a "C average" in high school, boast that they turn around as many applicants as they take. 1. turn out 2. shut off 3. turn down
      A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      'Turn around' -- 'to make a project or activity successful'; 'turn out' -- 'shut off'; 'turn down' -- 'reject, refuse'. Only (3): 'turn down' fits the sentence properly -- the original phrasal verb 'turn around' does not convey any meaning in the context of the sentence.
