Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. possibility of him.
Error concept: Wrong word form and preposition usage.
What is wrong: The phrase “the possible from him” is grammatically incorrect, as “possible” is an adjective, not a noun, and cannot be used this way.
Grammatical concept: The correct noun form here is “possibility”, and it must be followed by the preposition “of.”
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “possible from him” makes the sentence meaningless. The logical and grammatically correct phrase is “possibility of him.”
How to correct: Replace “possible from him” with “possibility of him.”
Correct phrase/ correction: possibility of him
Final sentence: It is worth noting that the possibility of him being voted as the class monitor is next to zero.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
