Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

He has given us no reason to be prestigious of him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 3 i.e. be suspicious.

  • The original sentence, "He has given us no reason to be prestigious of him," is incorrect because "prestigious" does not fit the context.
  • "Prestigious" means having high status or reputation, which doesn't make sense in this sentence.
  • The correct word to convey the intended meaning is "suspicious," which means having doubts or distrust.
  • Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "He has given us no reason to be suspicious of him."
