Question : Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
In order to succeed in life, we need to work instead waste time.
Option 1: despite wasting time
Option 2: No improvement required
Option 3: in spite of wasting time
Option 4: instead of wasting time
Correct Answer: instead of wasting time
Solution : The fourth option is correct.
Explanation: The appropriate phrase to be used here is instead of, which is a fixed preposition. We always use the preposition "of" with the word "instead". In this context, the phrase instead of wasting time conveys the idea that, to succeed in life, one should choose to work rather than engage in the unproductive activity of wasting time.
So, the correct sentence would be: "In order to succeed in life, we need to work instead of wasting time. "
