Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Your role the best you can, take as many as you can along with you.

The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the superfluous use.

Concept-

  • We need to remove 'along with you' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • 'Take as many as you can' refers to 'role' and hence 'along with you' is superfluous.

The correct sentence will be-

In an imperfect world with not-so-perfect people and institutions, you have to play your role the best you can, take as many as you can, with empathy and a bit of loving detachment.
