Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. accepted by the visitors.
- The word "accepted" means to be received favorably, to be acknowledged, or to be agreed upon.
- Using "accepted by the visitors" in the sentence implies that the guests not only approved of the dish but also embraced it with a positive response.
- This option conveys a sense of wholehearted approval and appreciation from the guests.
- Both "approved by the guests" and "accepted by the visitors" are valid phrases, but "accepted by the visitors" adds a touch of warmth and enthusiasm to the guests' response, making it a suitable option to improve the sentence.
Thus, the corrected sentence would be: The South Indian dish was accepted by the guests as it was tasty.
