Which of the following phrases should replace the phrase underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? (The underlined phrase is shown in square brackets.)
The driver [did not accede at the demand] of the people as he was aware of the risk involved in it.
- did not accede to the demand
- did not accede at demanding
- was not accede at the demand
- No correction required
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - did not accede to the demand
The verb 'accede' takes the preposition 'to' (accede to a demand/request). So 'did not accede to the demand' is correct; 'accede at' is wrong and 'was not accede' is ungrammatical.
