Select the option that will substitute the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no substitution is needed, select ‘No substitution required’.
Japan has made important and original contributions inside some fields like photography and electronics.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. in some fields like.
- The error lies in underlined part due to the wrong usage of preposition.
-
In the above-given sentence, 'in some fields like' will be used instead of 'inside some fields like'.
-
It is so because the word 'inside' means that someone or something is physically enclosed in a room, in a box, etc.
-
So, when we are speaking about time or location or other situations in which the person or object is not physically enclosed, we need to use the preposition 'in'.
The correct sentence is:- Japan has made important and original contributions in some fields like photography and electronics.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. in some fields like.
