Due to the reorganization, all employees are required to hand by their badges by the end of the week for the new security system implementation.

Correct option is B

The original sentence "Due to the reorganization, all employees are required to hand by their badges by the end of the week for the new security system implementation." incorrectly uses the phrase "hand by their badges," which is not a standard or correct usage. The intended meaning is that employees need to submit or turn in their badges, typically expressed as "hand in."
Here’s a breakdown of the options:
· Option (a) "by hand in their badges to" is grammatically incorrect and mixes the preposition "by" with the phrasal verb "hand in" incorrectly.
· Option (b) "to hand in their badges by" correctly replaces "hand by" with "hand in," using the preposition "by" appropriately to set a deadline, thus making the sentence grammatically correct and clear.
· Option (c) "on hand in their badges by" uses "on" incorrectly with the phrasal verb "hand in," which does not fit the intended context or grammatical structure.
· Option (d) "to hand for their badges in" jumbles the words and uses "for" incorrectly, resulting in a grammatically incorrect structure.
Grammatical Rule:
· Phrasal Verb Usage: "Hand in" is the correct phrasal verb for submitting or giving something to someone, especially in a formal or required context. The preposition "by" is commonly used to indicate a deadline or specific time limit, which fits correctly after the phrasal verb to complete the meaning.
Correct option based on grammatical correctness and clarity:
· (b) to hand in their badges by - This option corrects the phrase to "hand in," aligning with standard English usage for the action described, and places "by" correctly to specify the time frame, making it the best choice among the provided options.
