Question
In each of the following questions a grammatically
correct and meaningful sentence is given with four words given in bold in each. Which of the following words should replace each other to form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. The meaning can be different from the one in question. After you believe (a), you need to commit time to learning-say an hour every day to explore (b) that new software at your workplace and finally, you will repetition (c) in engage (d) and application of the new knowledge to convert it into a skill.Solution
In the context of skill acquisition, one first needs to explore new software, not believe it. “Believe” does not logically fit with learning a tool. Further, the correct construction is “engage in repetition and application”, where engage functions as the verb and repetition as the noun. The original sentence misplaces these two words, breaking both grammar and sense. Swapping believe ↔ explore and repetition ↔ engage restores logical flow and grammatical correctness.
