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".
Women candidates are (exempted to) paying the application fee.
(1) exempted for
(2) exempted from
(3) exempted in
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
The original sentence contains a prepositional error. To indicate that someone is free from a certain obligation (paying the application fee in this case), we use the preposition "from" after "exempted".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Women candidates are exempted from paying the application fee.
