Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.
Despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks, the determined entrepreneur refused to give up on her dream of creating a successful startup that would transform the sector
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. that would revolutionise the industry.
Error Concept: Word choice and appropriateness of expression.
What is wrong: The phrase "that would transform the sector" is correct but can be more powerfully and precisely expressed.
Grammatical Concept: The modal “would” correctly indicates intention or a hypothetical result in the future.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: The other options (improvise, redesign, socialise) are either incorrect in meaning or unsuitable in tone. “Improvise” means to make up or perform without preparation — not appropriate for planned transformation.
How to correct: Replace “that would transform the sector” with “that would revolutionise the industry” to express a stronger, more accurate intention.
Correct phrase/ correction: that would revolutionise the industry
Final sentence: Despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks, the determined entrepreneur refused to give up on her dream of creating a successful startup that would revolutionise the industry.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
