Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
You must employ additional hands in complete the project in time.

A.

in completing the project in time

B.

for completing the project of time

C.

No substitution required

D.

to complete the project on time

Correct option is D


The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) to complete the project on time.
Explanation:
The correct structure after "employ" (verb of action) is an infinitive ("to + V1"). Also, the correct expression is "on time", not "in time", in this context.
Grammatical Rule:
· Verb + to + base verb (Infinitive)
· "On time" = punctually; "In time" = before a deadline (not suitable here)
· Example:
· You must hire more workers to finish the job on time.
· Other options:
· · (a) "in completing" – incorrect; should be infinitive after "employ"
· · (b) "project of time" – meaningless phrase
· · (c) “No substitution required” – incorrect due to grammatical error
