Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The supervisor emphasised on.
- The part is grammatically incorrect as the preposition is incorrectly used.
- "Emphasize" does not need any preposition with it.
- Thus, "on" should be removed from here.
The correct sentence will be: The supervisor emphasized the need to gather as much information as possible.
