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

Our office is in the 2nd floor of the skyscraper.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. is on the 2nd floor.

 

  • The given question is asking the reader to choose the most suitable option that can replace the underlined segment in the given sentence.
  • The sentence is written in the present tense and uses the preposition "in" to indicate the location of the office.
  • The article "the" is used before "2nd floor of the skyscraper" to indicate that the writer is referring to a specific location rather than any 2nd floor in any skyscraper.
  • This sentence retains the present tense and the preposition "on" is used instead of "in," which also accurately conveys the location of the office.

Therefore, a possible way to rephrase this sentence using one of the options would be:

"Our office is on the 2nd floor of the skyscraper."
