Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. queries well.
Error Concept: related to the correct substitute for the underlined phrase.
What is wrong: The underlined segment “their issues promptly” needs a better expression that matches the context of students and a teacher.
Grammar Concept: When students have doubts or problems, they are usually called queries. A teacher is assessed on how well he/ she answers or manages those queries.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Options like chapters slowly, solutions nicely, and parents respectfully do not fit the meaning of the sentence, because the focus is on how a teacher deals with students’ academic problems.
Correction: The best substitute is “queries well.”
Corrected phrase: queries well.
Final sentence: A teacher should be assessed on the basis of his ability to interact well with the children and to handle their queries well.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
