Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
She sank back with a mourn of pain.
(1) morn
(2) mourne
(3) moan
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
''Mourn'' should be replaced with ''moan'' to describe that she sank back while making a sound of pain.
''Mourn'' means to feel sad and to express sorrow, and ''morn'' means morning, but both are incorrect in the context of the sentence. The word ''mourne'' doesn't exist.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She sank back with a moan of pain."
