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

Ripan’s nature and his strange habits can often unintentionally hurt others.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Eccentricity.

  • "Strange habits" - This phrase refers to Ripan's behaviors or actions that are considered unusual or out of the ordinary.
  • Correct Replacement: "Eccentricity" - "Eccentricity" is a word that means unconventional or odd behavior, often associated with unique or peculiar habits or actions.
  • It is a more formal and appropriate term to replace "strange habits" in the sentence.

So, the revised sentence would be: "Ripan’s nature and his eccentricity can often unintentionally hurt others."
