Directions: In the following questions, some part of the sentence is underlined. Which of the options given below the sentence should replace the part underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given then choose option E ‘No Correction required’ as the answer. A preventive programme for the break out of epidemic in quake-hit areas must be introduced.

Options

  1. AA preventive programme before the break out of
  2. BA preventive programme for the breaking out of
  3. CA preventive programme for the out break of
  4. DA preventive programme before the out break of

Correct answer

D. A preventive programme before the out break of

Step-by-step solution

Corrects the misuse of phrasal verb for noun. ‘Breakout’ is a phrasal verb meaning ‘to start or appear suddenly’ while ‘out break’ is a noun meaning ‘sudden appearance’. A preposition or an article is used before a noun, not a verb. Use preposition ‘before’ in place of ‘for’ because a preventive measure is taken before the appearance of epidemic. Hence, the option D is correct.
