Question

The sentence has four underlined words or phrases. Choose the word or phrase that must be changed for the sentence to be correct.

Three conditions critical for growing plants are soil, temperature, chemical balance or amount of moisture.

• A. Critical
• B. For growing
• C. Or
• D. Amount

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Or

The correct answer for the given question is option C) 'Or', because that is the incorrect part of the sentence.

As the growth of plants does not only depend upon one factor but many factors including soil, temperature, chemical balance, amount of moisture, etc. Therefore, instead of 'Or', 'and' should be used.

So, the sentence will be 'Three conditions critical for growing plants are soil, temperature, chemical balance and amount of moisture.'
