Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. elected by the.
- Elected by the is a suitable option.
- It refers to the specific voting group within a constituency that chooses the MLA.
- Compared to other options:
- Elected by a: Because "a voters" is grammatically improper, "elected by a" is incorrect. The noun voters are multiple, whereas the article "a" is singular and indefinite.
- Elects by a: Because "elects" is the present tense form and does not match the sentence's passive structure, "Elects by a" is incorrect.
- No improvement: Because the original statement is grammatically incorrect, "no improvement" is wrong.
