    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.

    A.

    not stay longest

    B.

    No improvement required

    C.

    stay no long

    D.

    no longer stay

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) no longer stay.
    Explanation:

    Grammatical rule used:
    · "No longer" is an adverbial phrase used to express the cessation of an action or state in the present or past. It comes before the main verb (except the verb "to be").
    Example:
    ✅ She can no longer afford the rent.
    ❌ She can none long stay...
