(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
Come across means to encounter or find something unexpectedly, which fits the context of discovering a book that she liked.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Come through means to fulfil or complete something successfully. It doesn't convey the intended meaning of finding a book she liked.
- Come around means to change one's opinion or attitude over time. It doesn't fit the context of discovering a book she liked unexpectedly.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Geeta said that she had never come across a book she liked so much."
