Question

Select the most appropriate option to improve the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No improvement’.
Some students think that if they cram a few chapters, they can pass in the exam.

A.

pass the exam

B.

No improvement

C.

be passed in the exam

D.

pass in an exam

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) pass the exam.
· The correct phrase is "pass the exam" rather than "pass in the exam." In standard English usage, when referring to successfully completing an examination, the correct verb phrase is "pass the exam" without the preposition "in."
· Grammatical rule used: In English, "pass" as a verb followed directly by the object (e.g., "the exam") is correct. The preposition "in" is not required and is considered redundant or incorrect in this context.
· Example: "She studied hard and managed to pass the exam with flying colors."
