Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to replace the underlined word in the given
sentence.
This statue of Lord Buddha is carved in jade.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. out of.

 

The preposition “in” is incorrect here because it suggests location, not material.

When referring to the material used to make something, we use the phrase “carved out of”.

Correct Prepositional Phrase: out of

  • “Carved out of jade” means jade was the material from which the statue was made.

  • Example: The sculpture was carved out of marble.

Corrected Sentence: This statue of Lord Buddha is carved out of jade.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct
