Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: that was on display
Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because it replaces the phrase "that was being shown" with "that was on display," which is a more concise and clear way to express the idea. It effectively conveys that the glass figurine was visible in the store window for people to see.
that was exhibited
- This suggests replacing "that was being shown" with "that was exhibited." While "exhibited" is a valid synonym, it introduces a slightly more formal tone compared to the original sentence. It also does not significantly improve clarity or conciseness.
that was advertised
- This "that was advertised" changes the meaning of the sentence. It implies that the glass figurine was actively promoted or marketed, which may not be the intended meaning. The original sentence is more about the visual appeal of the figurine rather than its promotion.
