The secretory assured the shareholders that the management would __________ itself to increase production.- Published on 13 Apr 16a. acquit
b. change
c. exert
d. manage
ANSWER: exert
The secretory assured the shareholders that the management would exert itself to increase production.
Option (a) 'acquit itself to' is incorrect
Option (b) 'change itself to' is incorrect. The word 'change itself' would mean admission of great failure.
Option (c) 'exert' means 'to make an effort' – an extra effort. Hence, it makes sense.
Option (d) 'management would manage' is tautology (needless repetition of words)
Hence, is incorrect.
