In the following sentence, 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 the option ‘No improvement’. Unable or unwilling to come in grips with the horrors of warfare many of the Lost Generation created impossibly unrealistic hopes for the future.  Correct Answer Come to grips with

The sentence uses the form come in grips with, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The preposition 'in' here makes no sense grammatically.

Using the preposition 'to' here, forms the phrase 'to come to grips', meaning to come to terms with or to slowly accept something.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is Come to grips with.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
