[amp_mcq option1=”availed of” option2=”availed to” option3=”availed” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is A. availed of.
The verb “avail” means to make use of something that is available. In this sentence, Ramakrishna is taking advantage of the leave that he has accumulated. The preposition “of” is used to indicate that Ramakrishna is using the leave for his own benefit.
The other options are incorrect. Option B, “availed to,” is not idiomatic. Option C, “availed,” is the bare infinitive form of the verb, which is not grammatically correct in this context. Option D, “No improvement,” is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically incorrect without the preposition “of.”
