Q. In the sentence given below, replace the phrase underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) i.e. “No correction required” as the answer.
Although she (1)/ is handicapped (2)/ but she (3)/ can run fast.(4)- Published on 12 Apr 16a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. No correction required
ANSWER: 3
In this sentence, 'but she' is the mistake.
Correct form: Although she is handicapped yet she can run fast.
Two contrary qualities of a subject can be expressed using the conjunction 'Although ----- yet'
The given statement can also be written as :
1) Although she is handicapped, she can run fast.
2) Though she is handicapped, she can run fast.
Here, the word 'yet' can be replaced by simply using a comma after the word handicapped.
The word 'although' can also be replaced by 'though'
But always remember, 'Although' is always followed by the word 'yet' and not by the word 'but'.
