Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold parts at 1, 2, and 3 that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is 4.
Your father is among the other things a private person.
(1) of the other things
(2) among other things
(3) among the others
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The phrase "among the other things" is incorrect, as the article "the" should be omitted. It suggests that being a private person is just one aspect among several others that describe the father.
Other Options:
- Of the other things: This option doesn't provide a smoother or more idiomatic expression compared to the original sentence.
- Among the others: This option is grammatically correct but is less commonly used and may not convey the intended meaning as effectively as the other option.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Your father is, among other things , a private person."
