Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select ‘No improvement’.

I will accept the responsibility while a time comes.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. when the time.

  • In the given sentence, the use of the adverb 'while' and the use of the indefinite article 'a' is incorrect.
  • The adverb 'while' means 'during which'.
  • The adverb 'when' should be used in place of 'while'. The adverb 'when' means at or on which (referring to a time or circumstance).
  • Also, the use of the article 'a' before the noun 'time' is incorrect. As the noun 'time' is specific, therefore the definite article 'the' should be used.

The correct sentence will be:- I will accept the responsibility when the time comes.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. when the time.
