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".
The (reason of) her outburst at the party is yet unknown.
(1) reason for
(2) reason to
(3) reason on
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The first option is appropriate because 'reason of' should be replaced with 'reason for' which means 'to express the cause for doing something'.
Other options such as 'reason of' and ' reason on ' are also out of context as they are not phrasal verbs and hence are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "The reason for her outburst at the party is yet unknown."
