Question

The success of Mithali’s squad has generated fresh interest in the women’s game in India, and as various goodies
have been dangled many are calling for a female equivalent of the IPL.

Identify the correct phrase to replace the underlined part:

(I) besides various goodies being dangled

(II) various goodies are being dangled

(III) apart from various goodies being dangled

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "apart from various goodies being dangled" (III) is grammatically correct and fits well in the sentence.

2. Option (II) "various goodies are being dangled" is incorrect because it disrupts the sentence structure and syntax.

3. Option (I) "besides various goodies being dangled" also works correctly as it conveys a similar meaning to "apart from," implying addition.

4. The phrasal verb "apart from" means "in addition to" or "besides," making both (I) and (III) suitable replacements.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) Both (I) and (III) are correct.
