Question and options

Directions: A sentence/a part of the sentence is underlined.
Alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence, are given.
Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is required, choose "No Improvement" option.

Try to lower the amount of fat in your diet
(Underlined part: 'lower the amount')
  1. Lose
  2. No improvement
  3. Cut
  4. Reduce

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - No improvement
The underlined part is the whole phrase 'lower the amount'. Replacing it with Lose, Cut or Reduce gives e.g. 'Try to reduce of fat in your diet', which is ungrammatical; the original 'Try to lower the amount of fat in your diet' is already correct, so 'No improvement'.
