Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
Lewis can handle many of the European languages with its dialectical varieties fluently.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. with their dialectical varieties.
- The original sentence is grammatically incorrect because "its" refers to Lewis, which is singular, while "dialectical varieties" refers to multiple languages, which is plural.
- Option 2 corrects this error by using "their" to refer to the plural "European languages."
- "Their" is a possessive pronoun that can refer to multiple people or things.
Using the correct pronoun their helps to make the sentence clear and grammatically correct.
