used in three different sentences. You must carefully examine the usage of the word in all the three sentences and decide in which sentence(s) the word has been used correctly and appropriately, both grammatically and contextually. Choose the option that indicates the correct combination of sentences. “Draft” I. The committee circulated a draft of the proposal for further suggestions and revisions. II.A cold draft from the open corridor made everyone in the room uncomfortable. III. The officer was drafted the report to the headquarters for immediate action.Solution
I → draft = preliminary version II → draft = current of air III → grammatically incorrect; “drafted the report to” is wrong structure (drafted means recruited/assigned or prepared, not “sent”) Thus, I and II are correct.
