Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select No improvement.
I came across some words which meaning I did not know.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. the meanings of which.

  • The error in this segment is in it's placement of words.
  • The way it has been placed doesn't make accurate sense unless we change the pronoun 'which' to 'whose'.
  • By using a possesive pronoun such as 'whose' we can make the sense accurate because it will then indicate that the meaning belongs to the words in the given sentence.
  • Or else, we can simply change the whole placement of words as given in this option and create accurate sense altogether.
