Correct Answer: 4
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: for
Explanation: This option suggests replacing "because of" with "for." "Mumbai is famous for its textiles" is the correct improvement. It conveys that Mumbai's fame is due to its textiles, making it clear that the textiles industry is the reason for Mumbai's renown.
at
- This option suggests replacing "because of" with "at." However, "Mumbai is famous at its textiles" doesn't convey the intended meaning. "At" doesn't provide the necessary explanation of why Mumbai is famous; it simply suggests that fame is associated with Mumbai and its textiles without explaining the relationship.
in
- This option suggests replacing "because of" with "in." "Mumbai is famous in its textiles" also does not convey the intended meaning. "In" implies that Mumbai itself is located within its textiles, which is not the intended message.
