    Question

    In the questions given below, a part of the sentence

    is given in bold. Below each sentence, some phrases are given which can substitute the bold part of the sentence. Identify the phrase which can correctly substitute the bold part of the sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, the answer should be ‘no improvement is required’. Despite their contrasting personalities, Lisa and her sister look alike in many ways.
    A imitate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B appear similar Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C match Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D no improvement is required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: The phrase "look alike" correctly means "to have a similar physical appearance," which fits the context. "Imitate" means to copy someone's actions or behavior, which is incorrect. "Appear similar" is close in meaning but is not as natural as "look alike." "Match" suggests a correspondence rather than physical resemblance.
