Question

Which of the following phrases given below the sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold letters to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence.

The success of the company’s project depended **in the ability of the team to collaborate effectively** under pressure.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase in the sentence is "depended in the ability of the team to collaborate effectively."

2. The verb "depend" is generally followed by the preposition **"on"** when indicating reliance or contingency.

3. Therefore, the correct phrase should be "depended **on** the ability of the team to collaborate effectively."

4. Other prepositions like "at," "over," or "for" do not fit the grammatical structure or meaning in this context.

5. Hence, option (a) "on the ability of the team to collaborate effectively" is the correct replacement.

**Answer:** (a) on the ability of the team to collaborate effectively
