[amp_mcq option1=”state the problem at first” option2=”state the problem first” option3=”first stating the problem” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. state the problem first
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct grammar rules.
- A. state the problem at first is incorrect because the preposition “at” is not needed in this sentence.
- C. first stating the problem is incorrect because the adverb “first” should be placed before the verb “stating.”
- D. No improvement is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
The sentence should read: “You ought to state the problem first before proceeding to suggest the solution.”
