Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. No improvement.

 

Error/Improvement Concept: Relative clause and subject-verb agreement.

What is wrong: Nothing is wrong. The sentence is grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:

“That” is a correct relative pronoun referring to “something.”

“Exists” is the correct verb form agreeing with the singular subject “something.”

“In dresses” correctly shows location or context.

Incorrectness of other options in context:

"that exist of" – Incorrect preposition and plural verb with a singular subject.

"that existing at" – Incorrect form of the verb; "existing" is not properly placed.

"which exist on" – Wrong preposition and "which" is less appropriate than "that" here.

Correct phrase: that exists in

Final sentence: Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3 – No improvement.
