Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
The original sentence, scoring as much 38 in the powerplay , is not grammatically correct. When we want to convey that a team or individual scored a specific number, it's more common to use it only to emphasise modesty or a low score. Scoring only improves the sentence by conveying that the team's score was limited to 38 in the powerplay.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Patriots had a comparatively modest start, scoring only 38 in the powerplay."
