Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted words in the given sentence.
He saved money each month in case of afford a new car.

A.

in charge of affording new car

B.

in the mean time afford new car

C.

in addition to afford the new car

D.

in order to afford a new car

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) in order to afford a new car.
Explanation: The sentence expresses purpose, so the correct expression is “in order to” followed by the base form of the verb “afford.”
Structure: in order to + V₁ (base verb)
Example: He works overtime in order to save money.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (a) in charge of – implies responsibility (उत्तरदायी)
· (b) in the mean time – relates to time, not purpose
· (c) in addition to – means "as well as" (के अतिरिक्त), not used to express reason
�� Grammar Rule:
“To express purpose, use: in order to + base verb”
✔ Correct: He saved money in order to buy a car.
