Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.

With tear eyes, she said goodbye to her dear friend.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. teary eyes.

The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

The noun “eyes” needs an adjective.

“Tear” is itself a noun.

We will use its adjective form “teary” in its place. 

The correct sentence will be: With teary eyes, she said goodbye to her dear friend.
