In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No Improvement’. Samuel felt the need to send his boys to a boarding school, because they were acting on again. Correct Answer Acting up
The sentence uses the form ‘acting on’, which is incorrect and needs improvement.
Acting on is a phrasal verb which means to do something because you have been advised or told to do it.
Acting up is a phrasal verb which means to act inappropriately or badly.
Thus the alternative ‘act up’ would be an improvement for the sentence and make it meaningful.
Therefore the correct answer is option 3.
