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'.  A cold thing is called as cold as ice because ice is very cold. ?

Option 4 : No improvement

The correct answer is No Improvement

• Reading the above sentence we find that:
  • The given sentence is in the present tense from the auxiliary verb is. 
  • Here it is mentioned that it is a 'cold thing' and not 'things'
  • Thus it is clear that it is singular. 
  • And from the given tone and tense we understand that it is not a continuous action. 
  • Thus the most appropriate form to be used here is "is called"
  • Since this is already given in the sentence the correct answer is No Improvement. 
• Therefore the correct answer is option 4.
