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".
He (began) on a new business venture.
(1) embarked
(2) begun
(3) opened
(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.
It means to start or undertake a new activity or journey, often with enthusiasm or determination. In the context of the sentence, it is a suitable alternative, as it conveys the idea of starting a new business with energy and commitment.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
-
Begun: This is the past participle of "begin." While it is grammatically correct, it doesn't improve the sentence's clarity or style.
-
Opened: It means to start or establish something, but it is not as specific as "embarked" when it comes to beginning a business venture.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He embarked on a new business venture.
