Question

Replace the underlined part of the sentence with a suitable option, if necessary:
Can you arrange the car to be ready this evening?

• A. arrange with the car
• B. arrange for the car
• C. arrange that the car
• D. No improvement

Answer 1

The correct option is B arrange for the car

Option A: The words, "arrange with" is used either in the form of "arrange something with someone" or "arrange with somebody to do something". It means: "Toorganizeorplansomethingwithanotherperson". The words, "arrange with the car" does not make any sense as the words, "arrange with" are used with a person and not a thing. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B: The words, "arrange for something" means "to prepare or plan for something". The words, "arrange for the car to be ready" means "to prepare to keep the car ready". Hence, this is a good substitute for the underlined words. This option is correct.

Option C: The words, "arrange that the car to be ready" is grammatically incorrect. The words, "arrange that the car" has to be followed by "is _____" where the blank is an adjective describing the car. Hence, "arrange that the car is ready" is the correct usage. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D is not applicable as option B is correct.
