Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined word segment in the following sentence. It is a high-pay job.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. high-paying.
'High-pay' is a noun phrase, not an adjective. To modify 'job' properly, we need an adjective.
'High-paying' is the appropriate adjective form derived from the verb 'pay,' describing something that provides high pay.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- It is a high-paying job.
