    Question

    Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required if the sentence is correct as given.
    The dessert was not just extremely hot but (also to sweet as well).

    A.

    besides too sweet as well.

    B.

    also too sweet.

    C.

    No correction required

    D.

    also being too sweet.

    Correct option is B


    The correct replacement is (b) also too sweet.
    · Explanation: The phrase “but also to sweet as well” is incorrect due to redundancy ("also" and "as well") and incorrect word form ("to" instead of "too").
    · Grammatical rule used: Parallel structure and adverb use – "Too" is the correct form to mean "excessively". Avoid redundancy like using both “also” and “as well” in the same phrase.
    · Example: The soup was too salty and also too spicy.
    Meanings of other options:
    · (a) besides too sweet as well – Redundant and incorrect structure.
    · (c) No correction required – Incorrect as the original sentence has grammatical issues.
    · (d) also being too sweet – Incorrect verb form use.
