Directions: In this 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.
The child was rescued by the NGO workers when she broke up of her house just before her marriage ceremony.
When she break up
Incorrect AnswerWhen she broke out
Correct AnswerWhen she broken away from her
Incorrect AnswerWhen she broken up from her
Incorrect AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Answer is (b).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: Usage of the phrasal verb 'break up' which means ‘disintegrate or disperse’ is inappropriate in this sentence.
'Break out' which means ‘to escape’ would be suitable in this context.
E.g.: A prisoner broke out of his cell.
Hence ‘broke out’ should be used in place of ‘broke up’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
The child was rescued by the NGO workers when she broke out of her house just before her marriage ceremony.Option B is hence the correct answer.
