SSC CPO - 28 June 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q6

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

The company plans to expand its business to the international market.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. to increase.

The most appropriate substitution for "expand its business" is "to increase," as it aligns with the idea of growth and expansion.

The other options—"to reduce," "to contract," and "to limit"—suggest a decrease or restriction, which contradicts the intent to grow and reach the international market.
