Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
(All the family members of his) are in Emakulam.
(1) All the members of his family
(2) All his family members
(3) All of his family members
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
The sentence uses the determiner "all" to refer to all the members of the speaker's family. The article "the" is used to refer to a specific group of people or things. The phrase "members of his family" is a noun phrase.
Therefore, the improved sentence would be: All the members of his family are in Emakulam.
