The following question based on sentences improvement topic of general english mcq

Questions : He is working hard to success for the examination.

(a) To succeed in

(b) For succeeding

(c) For success off

(d) For success into

e) No correction required

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

The first option does not have any preposition after the word ‘succeeding’. Due to omission of preposition after 'succeeding' the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect.

Hence option (a) cannot be our choice. Option (b) has ‘off’ after ‘success’. ‘Off’ is used to express separation or detachment.

For example, I. The cat jumped off the table. II. He is off duty now. (I) means the cat got separated from the table as soon as it jumped off.

Similarly, (II) means 'He is not doing duty presently' or he is away from his duty.

Thus, it is clear that (b) cannot be a correct option.

Option (c) has ‘in’ after ‘succeed’ which is correct hence, go with it.

a) a sprightly walk

b) spright walk

c) a sprightly walking

d) No improvement

Answer: (c)

To modify a verb, an adjective or other adverb, or an adverb is used. An adverb that modifies a verb appears immediately before the word it modifies.

Therefore, it should be a ‘sprightly walk’ in place of ‘spright walk’. The word ‘sprightly’ means ‘(especially of older people) full of life and energy; lively’.
