Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence can be: in the middle
Explanation: This option is a suitable alternative because it maintains the clarity of the original sentence and effectively conveys the intended meaning. "In the middle" means that the hair is parted exactly in the center.
at the centre
- This option changes "in the centre" to "at the centre." Both are grammatically correct, but "in the centre" is a more common and idiomatic way to describe how someone parts their hair.
near the centre
- This option changes the meaning slightly by suggesting that the hair part is close to the center but not necessarily precisely in the center. It might not accurately convey the intended meaning of the hair being parted exactly in the center.
