Question : Select the most appropriate option to replace the underlined segment in the given sentence.
Old people acquire experience through age.
Option 1: got experience
Option 2: developed experience
Option 3: experienced
Option 4: gain experience
Correct Answer: gain experience
Solution : The fourth option is correct.
When replacing acquire experience with the provided options:
-
Gain experience maintains the intended meaning of acquiring knowledge or skills over time. It fits grammatically and expresses the idea clearly.
-
Experienced is an adjective and doesn't fit well in the context of the sentence as it doesn't convey the action of acquiring experience.
-
Developed experience is less commonly used in this context and might be considered slightly awkward.
-
Got experience is less formal and might be considered more colloquial. "Got" is a casual term that might not be suitable for a formal context.
Therefore, " Old people gain experience through age " is the most suitable answer.
