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.
