The editor gave me a time line to finish the article.
- guideline
- deadline
- decline
- No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
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".
