Question : Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required' if the sentence is correct as given.
(Those Mount Everests) is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the sub-range of the Himalayas.
Option 1: The Mount Everest
Option 2: Mount Everest
Option 3: No correction required
Option 4: A Mount Everest
Correct Answer: Mount Everest
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The bracketed phrase ( Those Mount Everests) seems to be an attempt to refer to Mount Everest. However, it is not grammatically correct, and a more direct and appropriate way to express this is simply Mount Everest. Here, Mount Everest is a singular and specific reference to the highest mountain on Earth, and it fits seamlessly into the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the sub-range of the Himalayas."
