    are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentences have correctly used the highlighted word, and mark that as your answer. Basis (i) My sister receives a detailed financial report on a monthly basis to help her track her expenses and manage them better in the future. (ii) Students need to understand the basis of algebra and geometry before attempting the questions. (iii) He was promoted to a senior position on the basis of his qualifications and experience in the field.
    A Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only (i) and (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only (i) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All (i) , (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution ​ Both (ii) and (iii) use the given word correctly. The noun BASIS shows how often something happens; (ii) uses this word to convey how the person's sister receives a detailed financial report every month. The noun BASIS also refers to the reason why people take a particular action; (iii) uses this word to convey how the person was promoted to a senior position because of his qualifications and experience. Thus, D is the right answer. (i) is incorrect because it confuses the word BASIS with BASICS (fundamentals or the most essential facts, skills or ideas) to convey that the students need to understand the fundamentals of the subject before attempting the questions.
