Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: steer clear .

Explanation: The phrase "steer clear" means to avoid or stay away from something, especially something undesirable or harmful, which is the intended meaning in this context. It is a common and idiomatic expression.

steer free

  • This phrase is not a standard English expression. While "steer" can be used in a metaphorical sense to mean guiding or directing, "steer free" doesn't convey the intended meaning of avoiding anti-social elements as effectively as "steer clear."

steer out

  • This phrase is not a common expression in English and doesn't convey the intended meaning of avoiding anti-social elements.
