Question and options
Which of the following phrases should replace the phrase underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? (The underlined phrase is shown in square brackets.)
She always behaves [as if she has not] care at all about my feelings.
- as far as she does not
- as though she will not
- like if she does not
- as if she does not
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - as if she does not
After 'as if' we need a finite clause: 'as if she does not care at all about my feelings'. 'Has not care' is ungrammatical; 'as far as' and 'like if' are wrong connectors, and 'will not' changes the sense.
