Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
The teacher asked the students to be quite during the exam.
Option 1: No substitution
Option 2: be quiet
Option 3: have quiet
Option 4: been quiet
Correct Answer: be quiet
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The original sentence has a spelling error; "quite" should be "quiet". "Quiet" means to make little or no noise, which is the intended meaning in this context. So, "be quiet" is the correct substitution that rectifies the spelling error and maintains the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The teacher asked the students to be quiet during the exam.
