Directions: Which of the phrase/ word from the options (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold letters to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) i.e., “No replacement required” as the answer.

Students feel autonomous when they are able to **willing engage** time and energy to their studies.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase **"willing engage time and energy to"** is grammatically incorrect.

2. The verb "engage" requires an adverb to describe the manner of engagement. The correct adverb form is **"willingly"**.

3. Also, the verb should be in the base form "devote" rather than "engage" in this context, as the phrase is "devote time and energy to studies".

4. Option (c) **"willingly devote"** correctly uses the adverb "willingly" and the verb "devote" which fits the sentence meaning and grammar.

5. Other options are incorrect because:
   - (a) "Readily devoted" changes the meaning and tense incorrectly.
   - (b) "full assign" is grammatically incorrect.
   - (d) "cooperate willingly" does not fit the context of dedicating time and energy.

**Answer:** (c) willingly devote
