Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'no substititution required'.
The government appears (to be at war with it's own people.)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. to be at war with its own people.
- The bracketed part is incorrect because it uses "it's" which is the contracted form for "it is". The right substitution will be "to be at war with its own people" as it uses "its" which is a determiner referring to belongingness with own people.
