Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.

This option is the most appropriate because it correctly conveys the idea that the editor provided a specific time by which the article must be finished.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Guideline: A guideline is a set of recommendations or instructions and is not the appropriate choice in the context of a specific time by which something must be completed.
  • Decline: Decline is unrelated to the context of setting a time for finishing the article, as it means to become less.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The editor gave me a deadline to finish the article".
