Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option as the sentence is grammatically correct whereas in the first option, 'a secretary ' does not make sense as it has an error of conjunction. Therefore, the first option will be inappropriate.

The second option 'as secretary' is incorrect because it does not have an article which leads to the error of the article i.e., as must be followed by 'a' . Hence, it is incorrect whereas in the third option, the noun 'secretary' is not connected with the rest of the sentence, Hence It will be incorrect.

So, the correct answer will be "The Chairman appointed her as a secretary as she is efficient."
