Directions: In the following questions, some part of the sentence is underlined. Which of the options given below the sentence should replace the part underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given then choose option E ‘No Correction required’ as the answer.
The incident has clearly highlighted his knowledge and attentive of detail.
attended to detail
Incorrect Answerattentively on details
Incorrect Answerattention to detail
Correct Answerattention for detail
Incorrect AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Explain:-
In this sentence, the predicate part followed by "..his knowledge and ..." has to be a noun phrase and hence the adjective 'attentive' must be replaced with the noun 'attention'.
And at the same time, it's more appropriate and common to use 'to' after 'attention' and not 'of'. The correct formation, hence, will be- The incident has clearly highlighted his knowledge and attention to detail.
Hence, the option C is correct.
