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."
Don't step near the cliff's edge, else your life (might be thrown into) great peril.
(1) will be in
(2) will face
(3) would be placed in
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option, as " will be in" indicates that the speaker is warning the person by saying not to step near the cliff's edge, otherwise, the listener will be in danger.
"Will face" is incorrect in the context of the sentence since the phrase is used when referring to humans. "Would be placed in" is grammatically correct but overly formal and less clear.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "Don't step near the cliff's edge, else your life will be in great peril."
