Question and options
Directions: Choose the appropriate set of prepositions/articles that completes the sentence when filling the blanks in the given order.
The budget has expanded ______ ambit of the plan ______ include additional educational expenditure.
- in, the
- to, at
- the, to
- the, by
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - the, to
The sentence reads: the budget has expanded the ambit of the plan to include additional educational expenditure. "Ambit" here needs the definite article, and "expanded … to include" uses the infinitive of purpose. "By include" is ungrammatical, and "to, at" or "in, the" leave the verb without its object.
