Question

It is good practice to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the document once again before sending it for publication
A. Scan
B. Peer
C. Look up
D. See

Answer 1

Hint:Look for the word that will fit the sentence looking upon the meaning of the options. To do this, we need to understand the concept of subject-verb-agreement.

Complete answer:
Option A) Scan - 'Scan' means 'to look at all parts of something carefully in order to find some feature or fault. When placed here, it refers to scrutinizing "the document". Hence the word is suitable for the given sentence and option A is correct.

Option B) Peer – 'Peer' means 'to look with difficulty', for example, 'She peered through the keyhole.' It is not relevant here, hence option B is incorrect.

Option C) Look up – 'Look up' means 'to find a particular piece of information', to research (to find something that you do not know) whereas the "document" is to be checked or examined (here you are not searching in a quest to gain knowledge, but in a quest to find errors) hence C is incorrect.

Option D) See - 'See' means 'to perceive by the eye', it simply means 'to look at the document'; but the look is not enough. The sentence means 'to thoroughly go through the document'. Hence D is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:By understanding the meaning of the sentence and what ford fits in best, framing the right meaning of the sentence. We have to choose that answer.
