Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The NCERT was set up ahead by the government to assist and advise the Central and State Governments on policies and programmes for qualitative improvement in school education.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. was set up.

  • The grammatical error in the given sentence is the phrase "set up ahead."
  • The phrase "set up by" is the correct construction when referring to the action of establishing an organization or institution.
  • "Set up ahead" does not make sense in this context and is grammatically incorrect.
  • The correct form uses "set up by" to indicate that the government was responsible for establishing the NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training).

Thus, the corrected sentence would be: The NCERT was set up by the government to assist and advise the Central and State Governments on policies and programmes for qualitative improvement in school education.
