Question : Directions: In the following question, choose the correct alternative which will improve the part of the sentence given in quotes.
Everyone in the fraternity has his own "set in" prejudices.
- set by
- set of
- set on
- No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation : There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence. The phrasal verb set in should be replaced with set of to convey the intended meaning that each person in the fraternity has his collection of prejudices. Set of describes a group of things that share a common characteristic, which is the intended meaning here.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Everyone in the fraternity has his own set of prejudices."
