Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. In relationships, too, she seems too have subsisted.

The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of the preposition.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "too" with "to" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the preposition " to" is followed by "seem" we need to change it.
  • So we need to use "to" at the place of "too".

The correct sentence will be-

In relationships, too, she seems to have subsisted on nothing but the emptiness of her heart to the master of her life.
