Question

The teacher selected **a certain students for** the upcoming interschool sports competitions.

In each of the questions given below, a statement with a highlighted phrase is given. Choose the most appropriate replacement from the given options which could replace the highlighted phrase to make the statements grammatically and contextually correct. If the highlighted phrase is already correct then choose option “No replacement required” as your response.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The original phrase "a certain students" is grammatically incorrect because "a" is an article used with singular nouns, but "students" is plural.

2. Option (a) "certain students for" correctly removes the article "a" and keeps the plural noun "students" which agrees with the verb "selected".

3. Options (b) and (c) use "a certain" with plural and singular nouns incorrectly and also use "of" which does not fit the sentence context.

4. Option (d) "certain student for" uses singular "student" which does not agree with the intended meaning of multiple students.

5. Option (e) "No replacement required" is incorrect because the original phrase is wrong.

**Answer:** (a) certain students for
