Question

Tourism has been one of the **sectors severely effected** by COVID-19.

Identify the correct replacement for the phrase in bold. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose 'No improvement required'.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase in bold is "**severely effected**".

2. The word "effected" is incorrect here. The correct word should be "affected" because "affected" means influenced or impacted, which fits the context of the sentence.

3. Also, the subject "sectors" is plural, so the adjective should agree accordingly. The phrase "severely affected" correctly uses the adverb "severely" to modify the past participle "affected".

4. Therefore, the correct phrase is "sectors severely affected".

**Answer:** sectors severely affected
