Question

Rewrite using the verb form of the underlined noun:
He made a success of all his undertakings.
a)He successfully undertook everything
b)He was successful in undertaking everything
c)He succeeded in all his undertakings
d)His successness is there in all his undertakings.

Answer 1

Hint: Verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence; it forms the main part of the predicate in a sentence.

Complete answer:

Here, as you can see the word ‘succeed’ is used as the verb form of ‘success’ and the above-given sentence is in the past tense. So let us now look at the given options and try to find the correct verb form –
So -
In option – a, we have the word successfully which is an adverb. Therefore, it is not the correct option. Why? Because we need a verb.
In option – b, we have the word successful which is an adjective. Therefore, this also is not the correct option as we need a verb and not an adjective.
In option – c, we have the word succeeded which is the past tense of the verb success. Therefore, this is the correct option.
In option – d, we have the word successness which is a word that does not exist in the English language vocabulary.

Therefore, option – c is the correct answer here because it matches with the tense of the sentence and provides the correct verb form of the underlined word.

 Note: While rewriting any sentence we should always keep in mind the tense of the original sentence and shouldn't change it. Because if we change the tense the whole meaning shifts (i.e. changes).
