Question

Select the most appropriate option to improve the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No improvement’.
My sister resembles to my mother a lot in looks and in temperament.

A.

No improvement

B.

resembles

C.

has resemblance to

D.

is resembling to

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) resembles.
· The verb "resemble" does not require the preposition "to." It directly takes an object without any preposition, so the correct form should be "My sister resembles my mother." This sentence structure is simpler and grammatically correct.
· Grammatical rule used: In English, certain verbs, like "resemble," are transitive and take a direct object without a preposition. Using "to" after "resembles" is incorrect.
· Example: "He resembles his father in both appearance and mannerisms."
