b) Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on managing your pronunciation.
c) Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on repairing your pronunciation.
d) Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on modifying your pronunciation.

Answer 1

Hint: Pronunciation is either right or wrong. There are rules for pronunciation. One must be familiar with phonetics to know the correct pronunciation.

Complete answer:

Let us go through the given options and find the most appropriate word from the sentences, and hence the correct sentence.
Option b “Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on managing your pronunciation.” is incorrect. ‘Manage’ means to handle with a correct degree or skill. One doesn’t manage pronunciation, they learn it, correct it, or use it. Thus, the word ‘managing’ is invalid in this context.
Option c ”Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on repairing your pronunciation.” is incorrect because the word repair is used for things that are broken or need to be fixed. Pronunciation isn’t broken. Thus, the usage of the word ‘repair’ is wrong in this context.
Option d “Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on modifying your pronunciation.” means to change something about the pronunciation. It is invalid in the context of pronunciations as pronunciations are either right or wrong. ‘Modifying’ would mean to change it into something else. Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
Option a “Your grammar is very good, but you need to work on correcting your pronunciation.” is correct. Wrong pronunciations can be corrected. Therefore the option ‘a’ is the correct answer. The right word would be “correct.”

Note: Pronunciation and grammar are seen in logical binaries as right or wrong, these need to be corrected.
