Directions: In each question, a part of the sentence is made bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no replacement is needed, mark (E) as your answer.

Having leisure till outdoor activities such as taking a stroll down the park has become a rarity in this fast paced life.

Having leisures till outdoor

Having laziness for outdoor

Having leisure in outdoor

Having leisure for outdoor

No correction required

Explanation:

The original sentence is erroneous.

Reason: The word ‘leisure’ must be followed the preposition ‘for’ instead of ‘till’ in this context. The expression “leisure for” means ‘free time for’.

Hence ‘for’ should be used in place of ‘till’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Among the given choices, only option D replaces the given bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Having leisure for outdoor activities such as taking a stroll down the park has become a rarity in this fast paced life.

Option D is hence the correct answer.
