Correct Answer: 3

Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: a long way from the station

Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because it provides a more detailed description of the distance between the person's residence and the station. "He lives a long way from the station " emphasizes that the distance is significant, making it clear that the person's residence is far from the station.

away from the station

• This option suggests replacing "far from the station" with "away from the station." While "away from the station" is grammatically correct, it is less specific in describing the distance. "Away" simply indicates a spatial separation from the station, but it doesn't provide information about the extent of that separation.

off the station

• This option changes the meaning of the sentence. "Off the station" implies that the person lives directly at or on the station premises, which is not the intended meaning of the original sentence. It suggests a different spatial relationship to the station and is not an appropriate improvement in this context.
