Incorrect AnswerWith the anticipation of
Incorrect AnswerWith the advent of
Correct AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Answer is (d).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The word ‘advent’ must be followed the preposition ‘of’ instead of ‘from’ in this context. The expression ‘advent of’ means ‘the arrival of’.
Hence ‘of’ should be used in place of ‘from’ 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:
With the advent of new age digital and social media, fake news has pervaded all spheres of life, political and social.Option D is hence the correct answer.
