Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
Kanika accepted the invitation (on) alacrity.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e., with.

The word “accept” takes “with” with it to show manner. Alacrity means cheerful readiness, so here “on” should be replaced with “with” to make the sentence meaningful and grammatically correct.  

The correct sentence will be-

Kanika accepted the invitation with alacrity.
