Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: talked
Explanation: This option suggests replacing "spoke" with "talked." It conveys the same meaning as the original sentence and is a suitable synonym for "spoke" in this context.
said
- This option suggests replacing "spoke" with "said." However, "They said about the weather" is not a correct phrasing. "Said" is typically used to attribute direct speech or quotations, and it doesn't work well in this context because "about the weather" is not a direct quote.
expressed
- This option suggests replacing "spoke" with "expressed." "They expressed about the weather" is not a grammatically correct phrase. "Expressed" is better used in the context of conveying feelings, opinions, or thoughts, but it doesn't fit well here.
