In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.
The best way to ________ the children's poor test grades is to teach again the lesson and give a second test.

  1. A
    rectify
  2. B
    right
  3. C
    revise
  4. D
    reform

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's assess the definitions of the options:
rectify: Put right; correct or remedy a bad situation or error. Correcting poor test grades by teaching again fits this perfectly.

right: Restore to a normal or upright position, or vindicate (less contextually fitting as a direct verb here compared to rectify).

revise: Reconsider and alter something in the light of further evidence, or study material again.

reform: Make changes in something (typically a social, political, or economic institution or practice) in order to improve it.

Therefore, rectify is the most contextually accurate verb choice.
