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'. I was talking to Mom on the phone when the operator break in on our call. A. broke in on B. broke onto C. had broken into Correct Answer Only A

The sentence uses the form ‘break in on’ which is incorrect and needs to be improved.

The correct form of the phrasal verb is 'broke in on’. 'Break in on’ means to interrupt (a conversation). Since the structure of the sentence is past tense, the verb should also be in the past.

Options B and C are incorrect as they are incorrect forms of the phrasal verb.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
