Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
The candidate win the voting by a narrow margin.
Option 1: wins the voted
Option 2: won the vote
Option 3: win a vote
Option 4: No improvement
Correct Answer: won the vote
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation
: "Win" should be changed to "won" to correctly represent the past tense of the verb in this context. In the given sentence, the context is specific to a completed event where the candidate emerged as the winner. So, the use of the noun form "vote" is more appropriate to indicate a singular instance of the voting process that the candidate won.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The candidate
won the vote
by a narrow margin."
