Question

In the question a section is given in bold, which may or may not grammatically correct. Choose the correct alternative for the highlighted part so to make a
grammatically correct and meaningful statement.

The local school **is frequent criticized for maintaining** poor educational standards.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "frequent criticized" is incorrect because "frequent" is an adjective and cannot modify a verb directly.

2. The correct adverb form is "highly" which properly modifies the past participle "criticised".

3. Also, "maintaining" is the correct gerund form to indicate the reason for criticism.

4. Therefore, the correct phrase is **"is highly criticised for maintaining"**.

**Answer:** (d) is highly criticised for maintaining
