Question

Every Open House we held since 2013 reaffirmed our belief that there is a need for human intervention to retain its trust and credibility over the age of anonymous communication.

(I) to retain trust and credibility in this age of

(II) to retaining trust and credibility ageing

(III) for retention of trust and credible age of

Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III) given below each 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.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "to retain trust and credibility over the age of anonymous communication" is grammatically incorrect because "over the age of" is not the appropriate prepositional phrase here.

2. Option (I) "to retain trust and credibility in this age of" fits perfectly both grammatically and contextually. It correctly uses the phrase "in this age of anonymous communication," which means "during this particular period characterized by anonymous communication."

3. Option (II) "to retaining trust and credibility ageing" is grammatically incorrect because "to retaining" is not a valid infinitive form and "ageing" is misused.

4. Option (III) "for retention of trust and credible age of" is awkward and incorrect in terms of grammar and meaning.

5. Since only option (I) is correct, the answer is (a).

**Answer:** (a) Only (I) is correct
