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'. They set off their own company when they were still in high school. Correct Answer Set up
The underlined part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect and has to be improved.
The appropriate phrasal verb to be used here is "set up" which means "to start a business". The structure of the sentence is in simple past and the past tense of this phrasal verb is also "set up".
"Set off" means "begin a journey".
None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Hence the correct answer is option 2.
