Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
It is a fact that the same judgement can often be taken by more than one way.
Correct Answer :
be taken in more than
Solution :
The correct answer is be taken in more than.
Explanation:
In English grammar, when describing the manner, method, or perspective through which an action is performed, the standard preposition used with the word "way" is "in" (e.g., "in a way", "in different ways", "in more than one way").
Detailed Breakdown:
1. Incorrect Usage of "by": The phrase "by more than one way" is grammatically incorrect because "by" is not used to denote manner in this structural context.
2. Correct Usage of "in": Replacing "by" with "in" forms the idiomatic and grammatically precise phrase "in more than one way", meaning through multiple methods or interpretations.
3. Other Options: The prepositions "on", "for", and "of" do not correctly pair with "way" to express the intended meaning in this sentence.
Complete Corrected Sentence:
"It is a fact that the same judgement can often be taken in more than one way."
