Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

They will not sanction to copy without permission

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. will not sanction copying.

What is wrong:

  • The verb "sanction" should be followed by a gerund (verb + ing), not "to + verb".

  • "To copy" is incorrect after "sanction".

Correct Usage: Sanction + verb-ing i.e. sanction copying

Corrected Sentence: They will not sanction copying without permission.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
