Question

• A. at a more leisurely paced

• C. at a more leisure paced
• D. No improvement needed

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

दिये गये वाक्य के रेखांकित भाग 'at a more leisure pace' के स्थान पर 'at a more leisurely pace' का प्रयोग होगा, क्योंकि रेखांकित भाग में leisure और pace दोनों Noun हैं। noun को noun qualify नहीं करता हैं। इसलिए noun (pace) को qualify करने के लिए noun (leisure) के स्थान पर adjective (leisurely) का प्रयोग होगा। Correct Sentence- Although uncountable files stack up on the tables of government officials, they prefer doing their work at a more leisurely pace.
