    with one phrase bold in each. From the options given choose the one with the phrase that can replace the bold part in each of the three sentences without making the sentence grammatically and contextually incorrect and mark that as your answer. If all the bold phrases are correct mark 'No correction required' as your answer I. The West Court has a paved entry from the north, but by way of steps down rather than a  equalizer. II.

    A Sharpen up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Ramp up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Increase up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Hurry up Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) In statement I, use of a word with vowel sound after the indefinite article ‘a’ makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. In statement II, the phrase is incorrectly used as the sentence implies that due to the announcement of the merger the share prices will increase sharply. In statement III, usage of past verb ‘indulged’ after preposition ‘to’ makes the statement grammatically incorrect. The phrase ‘ramp up’ means ‘increase the level or amount of something sharply’. It goes with the context of the sentences given above. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
