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".
My mother insists on setting (up) something every day for charity.
(1) on
(2) in
(3) aside
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
It conveys the idea that something is being set apart or allocated for charity. The original choice, "on" does not convey the same meaning.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Set in means the manner or position in which something is set.
- Set on means to attack someone violently.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: My mother insists on setting aside something every day for charity.
