    Question

    The visiting school children circumnavigated around the Dal Lake with visible delight during their visit to Srinagar.

    A.

    circumnavigated about

    B.

    circumnavigated on

    C.

    circumnavigated

    D.

    no improvement

    Correct option is C


    · Circumnavigated (c): Correct because "circumnavigate" alone already means to travel around or navigate a perimeter, making "around" redundant.
    · Circumnavigated about (a): Incorrect as "about" is redundant and awkwardly phrased with "circumnavigate."
    · Circumnavigated on (b): Incorrect since "on" suggests a surface or base, which does not fit with the verb "circumnavigate."
    · No improvement (d): Incorrect due to redundancy in the use of "around" with "circumnavigated."
    Grammar Rule: Avoid redundancy in verb phrases; if the verb itself conveys a direction or movement, additional prepositional modifiers are usually unnecessary and can be grammatically awkward.
