Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

My father has given his ascent for my long tour.

A) accent B) approof
C) assent D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) assent

Explanation:

Ascent’ means upward moment and is incorrect as per the meaning of the sentence. ‘Accent’ means to emphasize a particular feature; ‘Approof’ means trial, and ‘Assent’ means to give an expression of approval or agreement. Thus, ‘Ascent’ needs to be replaced with ‘Assent’ Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘My father has given his assent for my long tour’.
