Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
The most important fruit in Kinnaur is apricot. It is possible to get it at everyplace in huge amount.

A.

found for a huge amount everywhere

B.

found everywhere in a huge amount

C.

found everywhere with a huge amount

D.

find everywhere in a huge amount

Correct option is B

Explanation:

The original phrase “at everyplace in huge amount” is ungrammatical for the following reasons:

  1. "Everyplace" is a non-standard form. The correct idiomatic expression is “everywhere.”

  2. “In huge amount” is incorrect because “amount” is uncountable, and it should be preceded by an article (a/the) and an adjective when describing quantity. Hence, “a huge amount” is correct.

  3. The passive structure “found everywhere” is suitable for describing availability.

Corrected Sentence:

The most important fruit in Kinnaur is apricot. It is possible to get it found everywhere in a huge amount.

Grammar & Usage Rules:

  • “Found everywhere” implies that the item is readily available in many places.
    Example: Mangoes are found everywhere during summer.

  • “In a huge amount” is used to describe a large quantity of something that is uncountable (like fruit, water, money).
