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."
However great you may be, you cannot (trifle on) a man's feelings.
(1) trifle along
(2) trifle upon
(3) trifle with
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct answer is the third option.
"Trifle along", "Trifle on" and "Trifle upon" are incorrect because they are not commonly used phrases. These options don't convey the idea of interfering with someone's feelings.
" Trifle with " means to treat a person in a way that shows a lack of proper respect or seriousness.
There is an error in the use of the proper phrasal verb in the original sentence. Therefore, the correct statement should be "However great you may be, you cannot trifle with a man's feelings".
