Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.

The squirrels bury the peanuts beneath the snowy.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. under the snow.

Here, the context of the sentence wants to say that the squirrels bury the peanuts "under" the snow. "Beneath" and "Under" are used synonymously but have slightly different meanings. 

"Beneath" refers to something below another thing. "Under" refers to when something is almost immediately below the other.

Also, "snowy" is incorrect to use here as it is an adjective. 

Therefore, the correct sentence is- "The squirrels bury the peanuts under the snow".
