Question

Identify the correct phrase to replace the bold part in the sentence:

**It is a process where continuity and change are in consonance with each other, where the introduction of a new segment does not subsume the importance of the existing segments.**

(I) is in consonance with one another

(II) are in consonant to one another

(III) is in consonance at each other

Choose the best option that correctly replaces the phrase in bold to make the sentence grammatically accurate. If the sentence is already correct, select (e) No correction required.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence contains two plural subjects: *continuity* and *change*. Therefore, the plural verb *are* is correctly used.

2. The phrase *in consonance with each other* appropriately expresses the harmonious relationship between the two subjects.

3. Option (I) uses *is* (singular verb) and *one another* which is less suitable here because the subjects are plural and the phrase *each other* is more appropriate for two entities.

4. Option (II) uses *are in consonant to one another*, which is grammatically incorrect because *consonant* is an adjective and the phrase should be *in consonance with*.

5. Option (III) uses *is in consonance at each other*, which is incorrect due to the singular verb *is* and the preposition *at* instead of *with*.

Hence, the original sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any modification.
