Identify the best way to improve the underlined part of the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘no improvement’.
She is a very good sprinter. I can’t run as fast as she does.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. no improvement.
- Option 1 is correct because nothing in the provided options can make an improvement to what has already been given in the question.
- Option 2 is incorrect because the question indicates simple present tense 'as she does' but the option indicates present continuous tense 'like she is doing'. The option changes the meaning of the sentence.
- Option 3 has incorrect grammer. 'As she doing' is missing a word 'is' and hence doesn't end up making complete sense because the time/tense is not properly established in the sentence.
- Option 4 also has incorrect grammar. 'As she do' is missing a 'will' and so it fails to specify the time/tense of the sentence. It therefore does not make complete sense.
