    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution'.
    The frog adopts itself to live both in water and on land.

    A.

    frog adepts itself

    B.

    frog alters itself

    C.

    No substitution

    D.

    frog adapts itself.

    Correct option is D

    Option (d) is the correct substitution of the highlighted phrase.
    The highlighted segment "adopts itself" in the sentence is incorrect.
    The correct word to use in this context is "adapts."
    · "Adapts" means to adjust or change to suit different conditions or environments, which is the intended meaning in the sentence.
    · The word "adopts" does not convey the same meaning in this context, and it is not the appropriate substitution.
    · Therefore, option (d) "frog adapts itself" is the correct substitution to convey the idea that the frog adjusts to live both in water and on land.
