Select the option that rectifies the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no correction is needed, select ‘No correction required’.

Cinema provides the most universal entertainment.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a universal.

  • The correction "a universal" is needed because "universal" is an adjective that describes a type of entertainment, and it should be preceded by "a" rather than "an," since "universal" starts with a consonant sound.
  • The phrase "a universal entertainment" correctly uses the article "a" to modify the noun "entertainment."
  • Using "more universal" would imply a comparison, which is not appropriate for this context, as the sentence aims to describe cinema as universally appealing without comparison.
