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.
You must accustom yourself with new ideas.
EnglishSentence Improvement
- Aaccustomed with
- Baccustom to
- Caccustom yourself to
- DNo improvement
Explanation
The reflexive phrasal verb is 'accustom oneself to', not 'accustom oneself with': one gets accustomed to new ideas. 'Accustomed with' in option (a) carries the same wrong preposition. The sentence must read 'You must accustom yourself to new ideas'. Hence option (c) is correct.
