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.

- DNo improvement
Explanation
The idiom is 'dispense with', meaning to do away with or stop employing something: 'Your services are dispensed with'. 'Dispense for' and 'dispense off' are not valid collocations. Replacing 'for' with 'with' gives the correct phrasal verb. Hence option (b) is correct.
