Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
The organized sellers with the ability to control their price-lines, or pass on any increase in cost to customers, should be able to maintain or improve profit margin.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence uses the plural noun 'sellers,' which requires the corresponding plural noun 'margins' for consistency in the phrase 'profit margins.'
The other options change the helping verb from 'should' to 'will' and also include grammatical errors like 'maintains,' 'improves,' and 'abled.'
Option A corrects the noun 'margin' to 'margins' while keeping the correct modal verb 'should.'
