Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

(The surprise about the India vote) was not because it fell out of line with the country’s foreign policy as we know.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The surprise over the Indian vote.

  • We need to use 'Indian' in place of 'India' because vote' is a noun while 'Indian' is used here as an adjective for 'vote'.
  • 'Vote' is already correct because it means 'favour' or 'support' which is appropriate in the sentence. 'Voting' is a process which is not logical here.

The correct sentence will be-

The surprise over the Indian vote was not because it fell out of line with the country’s foreign policy as we know.
