Question : Direction: In the following question, out of four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
Balanced diet (comprises of water), roughage and other nutritional values.
- comprises water
- comprises of water
- comprised of water
- No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The appropriate answer is the first option as there's an error in the usage of the preposition. In this sentence, the preposition 'of' should not be used with 'comprises' which means 'composed of' thus not conveying the proper meaning.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "Balanced diet comprises water, roughage and other nutritional values."
