Select the most appropriate option to improve the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No improvement’.
Passengers traveling by air are prohibited to carry sharp objects in cabin baggage.

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is "are prohibited from carrying".
· Explanation: The correct preposition after "prohibit" is "from," not "to." The verb "prohibit" is usually followed by "from" when indicating that someone is prevented from doing something.
· Grammatical rule used: The structure "prohibit + someone + from + gerund" is the correct grammatical construction. The gerund (verb + ing) is used after the preposition "from."
· Example: "The school prohibits students from using mobile phones during classes." This structure is parallel to the correct answer.
