Question

He was promoted to the rank of major in **recognising of his** valour during the battle.

Choose the correct phrase to replace the part in bold. If the sentence is correct as it is, select 'No improvement required'.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase **'in recognising of his'** is grammatically incorrect.

2. The correct idiomatic expression to indicate the reason for promotion is **'in recognition of his'**.

3. Other options either misuse prepositions or verbs and do not fit the context.

4. Hence, replacing the phrase with **'in recognition of his'** makes the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.

**Answer:** (b) in recognition of his
