Question : 42

The company had decided for normal its relation with its clientele.

a) Have decided normalisation

b) Has decided to normal

c) Has decided to normalise

d) Has decided in normalising

e) No correction required

Answer: (c)

Since the ‘company’ is singular the auxiliary verb should be ‘has’ not ‘have’. Hence (c) is ruled out.

Now, to make the given sentence meaningful, the phrase given in bold requires a transitive verb. The transitive verb of ‘normal’ is ‘normalize’.

Hence correct option is (b). Moreover option (c) doesn't have ‘to’ after decided and option (d) has ‘in’ in place of ‘to’. Hence reject options (c) and (d).
