In the question below, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose 'No improvement.' Didn't mother tell you in repeated terms to do your homework first? Correct Answer repeatedly
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., repeatedly.
- The sentence uses the phrase 'in repeated terms', which is incorrect.
- As the phrase is used after the main verb, giving more information about it, it should be an adverb, to make a meaningful sentence.
- In repeated terms means repeatedly.
- The other options 'continuously' and 'always' do not show the same meaning as the underlined phrase.
- So, repeatedly must be the correct adverb here.
Thus, the rectified sentence is: Didn't mother tell you repeatedly to do your homework first?
