    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
    I am sorry of which my mother said.

    A.

    for what

    B.

    for which

    C.

    off that

    D.

    No improvement required

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted phrase is "for what".
    · The phrase "of which" is incorrect in this sentence.
    · The correct phrase "for what" means "regarding the thing that", which fits the context properly.
    Example:
    · Incorrect: I am sorry of which my mother said.
    · Correct: I am sorry for what my mother said.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "For what" is used when referring to something that has been said or done.
    Meanings of other options:
    · (b) for which – Incorrect, as "which" requires an antecedent.
    · (c) off that – Incorrect, "off" does not fit grammatically.
    · (d) No improvement required – Incorrect, as the phrase is grammatically wrong.
