Question

Because of his mastery in this field, his suggestions \(\textbf{are wide accepted.} \)
 

• A. are widely accepted
• B. are wide acceptance
• C. have widely accepted
• D. No improvement

Hint:

Remember: Adjectives modify nouns; adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. "Wide" (adj.) vs. "widely" (adv.).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence provided is: "Because of his mastery in this field, his suggestions are wide accepted." The options are provided to correct any grammatical issues in this sentence.

Let's evaluate the phrase "are wide accepted":

1. The phrase "are wide accepted" is grammatically incorrect. Here, the adverb "widely" should be used instead of the adjective "wide." This is because the adverb "widely" is required to modify the verb "accepted."
2. Adjectives like "wide" modify nouns, whereas adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this context, since we are modifying a verb, an adverb should be used.

Given the options:

• are widely accepted - This is the correct choice as "widely" correctly modifies the verb "accepted."
• are wide acceptance - This option is incorrect as it uses an adjective to modify a noun, which doesn't fit the sentence structure.
• have widely accepted - This option is incorrect as it changes the verb structure altogether, making the sentence incomplete.
• No improvement - This choice is incorrect since the original phrase is grammatically flawed.

Hence, the correctly improved sentence is: "Because of his mastery in this field, his suggestions are widely accepted."
