Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
The girl (told her teacher) to explain the passage.
(1) said to her teacher
(2) asked her teacher
(3) called her teacher
(4) 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: The phrase "told her teacher" should be replaced with "asked her teacher" because, when someone wants an explanation, it is grammatically correct to use the reporting verb "asked" instead of "told" in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The girl asked her teacher to explain the passage."
