Below each of the following sentences, three possible substitutes are given for the underlined part. If one of them is better than the underlined part, indicate your response on the Answer-Sheet against the corresponding letter (A), (B) or (C). If none of the substitutes improves the sentence, indicate (D) as your response on the Answer-sheet. How many from you are attending the function tomorrow? Correct Answer How many of you
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., How many of you.
- The sentence uses the incorrect preposition 'from'.
- From- used to indicate the source of something. e.g. Honey comes from honeycomb.
- The given sentence, however, suggests that the preposition should show the portion of something (how many out of some number of people).
- The only preposition that shows this is 'of', which shows a relation of a part to the whole.
- e.g. A piece of the pie, a leader of the people etc.
- The phrases 'what many from you' and 'who among you all' are grammatically incorrect.
Thus, the rectified sentence is: How many of you are attending the function tomorrow?
