Correct answer
No correction
Why this answer is correct
The correct answer is option 5), i.e. "no correction".
Key Points
- Context: The mechanism proposed is for the betterment of the farmers and private buyers as it will result in more transparency and accountability in the farm trade. We have to look for the phrase which means to make something happen.
- Bring about: to cause to take place especially to cause changes in the situation. Clearly, the underlined phrase "bring about" already fit perfectly in the sentence.
- According to the subject-verb agreement also, as the sentence describes the future consequences of the mechanism, i.e the future indefinite tense. So we will use the present form of the verb, i.e "bring about".
- Let us try to find the meaning of other phrases as well -
- Brought about: It is the past and the past participle form of the verb "bring about". It would be the wrong option as we use the present form of the verb in the future indefinite tense.
- Bring in: to include or to introduce. It also means to produce profit or return. "Brought in" is the past and the past participle form of the verb "bring in". So option 2), i.e. bring in and option 3), i.e. brought in can't be the right answer as they are not contextually correct.
- Pick out: to choose, find, or recognize something or someone in a group.
- Clearly, out of all the given options, none of them justifies the context of the meaning. The underlined phrase needs no replacement as it perfectly fits in the sentence.
Mistake Points
- Although the underlined phrase may seem to be fit in the given sentence contextually and might be grammatically correct, it is better to go through all the options before marking the option of "no correction". We should choose the most appropriate option.
- We need to carefully choose the correct option as most of the phrasal verb given in the options are of the word "bring" which might confuse at first glance.
