    sentence should replace the word/phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct. If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, mark E as the answer. I jump through hoop to finish this project in time but was not rewarded adequately.

    C jumped by hoop Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D jumping from hoop Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The original sentence is grammatically incorrect because it uses the phrase "jump through hoop" instead of the correct expression "jump through the hoops." The phrase "jump through the hoops" is an idiomatic expression that means to complete a series of difficult or challenging tasks or obstacles in order to achieve a goal.
