Question

Central India and the southern peninsula **were expected to get most** rain than their historical average.

Identify the correct replacement for the phrase in bold or choose 'No improvement required' if the sentence is correct.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "were expected to get most rain" is incorrect because "most rain" is not the appropriate comparative form here.

2. The correct phrase should be "were expected to get more rain" since we compare the expected rainfall with the historical average, and "more" is the correct comparative adjective.

3. Option (a) "were expect to get more" is grammatically incorrect due to the missing past participle "expected".

4. Option (b) "were expected to got more" is incorrect because "got" should be "get" after "to".

5. Option (c) "were expected to get mostly" is incorrect as "mostly" is an adverb and does not fit the comparative context.

6. Option (e) "No improvement required" is incorrect because the original sentence contains an error.

**Answer:** (d) were expected to get more
