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. Most healthy eating regimens fail because people doesn't have the time to plan their meals, shop, and cook healthy. 1. does not had the time planning 2. do not have time for planning 3. do not plan their time
    A 1 & 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 & 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 & 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the main statement, 'doesn't': incorrect usage; people will take a plural verb ('do' in this case). Therefore, 1 gets eliminated. 2 is incorrect: parallelism error; planning, shopping and cooking or it should be 'plan, shop and cook'. 3 doesn't make sense; misplaced parts of speech. Hence, D is the correct answer. (do not have the time to plan)
