SENTENCE IMPROVEMENT

Directions: Look at the underlined part of each sentence. Below each sentence are given three possible substitutions for the underlined part. If one of them (a), (b) or (c) is better than the underlined part, indicate your response on the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter (a), (b) or (c). If none of the substitutions improves the sentence, indicate (d) as your response on the Answer Sheet. Thus a "No improvement" response will be signified by the letter (d).

Explanation:

In the context of the fan, always the expressions ‘turn on or turn off’ are used. Hence, ‘close the fan’ must be replaced with ‘turn off the fan’ as the phrasal verb ‘turn off’ means to power down or to stop a device by switching it off. Thus, option (3) is correct.
