Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

It is one thing for adultery to get you a divorce and (quite some other) for it to lead you to incarceration.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Quite another.

  • 'Anyother' and 'everyother', both contain two words. They are not written together.
  • 'Another' is used to refer to an additional person or thing of the same type as one already mentioned or known about; one more; a further.
  • Since there are two factors mentioned about 'adultery', 'another' is appropriate.

The correct sentence will be-

It is one thing for adultery to get you a divorce and quite another for it to lead you to incarceration.
