A sentence is given with one or more highlighted words. Choose the option that provides the most appropriate improvement or substitution for the highlighted word(s). If no improvement is needed, select “No improvement” as your answer.

Similar mishaps are continually happening on the new highway because of improper
signalling.​

Correct option is B

The correct improvement for the highlighted phrase "continually happening" in the sentence is (b) occurring.
· Original Phrase: "Similar mishaps are continually happening on new highway because of improper signalling."
· The phrase "continually happening" might sound redundant or overly wordy when describing events that take place repeatedly. While "continually" does indicate ongoing action, in the context of mishaps due to signaling, a simpler verb might better convey the message without redundancy.
· Revised Sentence: "Similar mishaps are occurring on new highway because of improper signalling."
· The verb "occurring" simplifies the sentence and effectively communicates the continuous nature of the mishaps without the need for the adverb "continually." It implies that the mishaps happen repeatedly, which is a direct and clear expression suitable for describing events.
Analysis of Other Options:
· (a) Manifesting: This verb suggests that the mishaps are becoming apparent or coming into being, which might imply a different nuance than simply happening or taking place.
· (c) Repeating: While it does imply recurrence, "repeating" may suggest a more deliberate or predictable pattern than "occurring," which is more neutral and fitting for the context of accidental mishaps.
· (d) No improvement: The original phrase works but is less efficient and slightly awkward compared to the straightforward simplicity of "occurring."
Conclusion: Option (b) occurring is the best choice to replace "continually happening," as it provides a clearer and more concise way to describe the mishaps without changing the intended meaning of the sentence.
