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. If none of the substitutions improves the sentence, indicate (d) as your response on the Answer Sheet.
He took a loan of hundred rupees from me.
EnglishSentence Improvement
- Adebt
- Bdemand
- Cadvance
- DNo improvement
Explanation
The underlined word is 'loan', and 'take a loan' is the correct collocation for borrowing money from someone. Neither 'debt', 'demand' nor 'advance' fits the verb 'take' in this sense. The sentence is already idiomatic, so the answer is (d), No improvement.
