The underlined phrase in the given sentence has been used incorrectly. Select the option that can correctly replace the underlined segment.
Samita asked out a favour of going early today.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. asked for.
- "Ask for" is used when requesting something, like a favour or help.
- In the sentence, Samita is requesting the favour of leaving early, so "asked for" is appropriate.
- "Asked out," on the other hand, means to invite someone on a date, which doesn't fit the situation here.
