Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. States’ capacity to move away from a already.

  • 'A/an' is used before a singular countable noun.
  • Here 'a' is used for 'approach' which is a singular countable noun.
  • Before a word starting with a vowel sound, 'an' is used.
  • Since 'already' starts with a vowel sound, 'an' should be placed before it.

The correct sentence will be-

Our government has decided to strengthen the States’ capacity to move away from an already obsolete ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
