Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No improvement’.
He was one of most respected generals because of his care for the men and his record as a fighter.

A.

the most respect generals

B.

the most respected generals

C.

most respected general

D.

No improvement

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) the most respected generals.
Explanation:
The phrase “one of most respected generals” is incorrect due to missing article “the” before “most respected generals.”
Also, “generals” is plural, and when using “one of”, it must be followed by plural noun with superlative → “one of the most respected generals”.
Grammatical rule used:
“One of” + the + superlative adjective + plural noun is the correct structure.
Example: He is one of the best players in the world.
