Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
I have not finished to paint the door.
(1) painting
(2) the paint
(3) the painting
(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.
This option is the correct choice. It changes the infinitive phrase "to paint" to the gerund "painting" , which is the appropriate form when describing the action of applying paint to the door.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- The paint: This option is not correct because it changes the meaning of the sentence. "The paint" refers to the actual substance, while the original sentence is about the action of painting.
- The painting: This option is not the best fit because it suggests a completed work of art, not the ongoing action of applying paint to the door.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I have not finished painting the door."
