Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
Govind is improving his communication skills with a view to become a journalist.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. becoming.
Form into: This option is grammatically incorrect and does not fit the context. 'Form into' is not a valid phrase to indicate the process of transforming or aiming to be something.
Achieving: While 'achieving' can be related to reaching a goal, it is not the best fit for this context. 'Achieving a journalist' is not a grammatically correct phrase. We achieve goals, not roles or titles.
Making: This option can sometimes fit in similar contexts, but it doesn't work well here. 'Making a journalist' implies creating or producing a journalist, which is not what the sentence intends to convey.
Becoming: This is the best option. 'Becoming' is the correct gerund form of 'become' and fits the context perfectly. It indicates the process or goal of transforming into a journalist.
Therefore, the most appropriate word to substitute 'become' is 'becoming':
'Govind is improving his communication skills with a view to becoming a journalist.'
