Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a rented accommodation.
Introduction: We are asked to select the most appropriate phrase to replace the underlined part of the sentence.
Context: Sanat has been transferred to Mysore and is seeking help from a friend to find a place to live.
Analysis of the given options:
-
an allocation recommendation – awkward and unnatural phrase in this context; not used to refer to housing.
-
a rented accommodation – refers clearly and correctly to a place to live temporarily.
-
a proper junction – refers to road crossings, not living space.
-
a suitable elevation – refers to height above sea level; irrelevant here.
Correct phrase: a rented accommodation
Reason: Since Sanat is looking for a place to stay, the term “rented accommodation” appropriately fits the context of residential need after a transfer.
Final Sentence: Sanat has just arrived in Mysore on transfer; he requests his friend Raghu to help him find a rented accommodation.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
