Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
The original sentence "He is a killing combination of looks and talent" is incorrect. In this context, killing is not the appropriate word to describe a combination of looks and talent. The phrase "Is a killer" is the correct choice, as it conveys that he possesses an exceptional combination of looks and talent.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He is a killer combination of looks and talent."
