Question and options
Which of the given phrases should replace the phrase given in bold (shown here in capitals) in the sentence to make it meaningful and grammatically correct?
It is too early to say HOW THE IMPACT the new tax will have on investors.
- what impact
- that the impact
- how much impacts
- what are the impacts of
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - what impact
The correct sentence is “It is too early to say what impact the new tax will have on investors”: “what impact” is the object of “will have”. “That the impact … will have” and “how much impacts … will have” leave the verb without a proper object, and “what are the impacts of” cannot be followed by “the new tax will have”.
