Correct Answer: 4
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: like Kohima's
Explanation: This option is also correct because it uses the word "like" to compare the climate of Shillong to the climate of Kohima. It does not show possession, which is appropriate in this context.
as Kohima
- This option is incorrect because it does not show possession. The climate of Shillong is being compared to the climate of Kohima, not Kohima itself.
as Kohima's
- This option is also incorrect because it uses the apostrophe s to show possession, but the climate does not belong to Kohima. The climate of Kohima is simply being used as a reference point for comparison.
