The centre forward was constantly being cheered and applauded because he had made many goals.
- he had secured many goals
- he made many goals
- he had scored many goals
- he had scored goals
- No correction
Answer: Option C. -> he had scored many goals
The word ‘score’ means to achieve or gain a point or points in a game or competition. The word ‘goal’ is used in the sports context to refer to the successful scoring of points in a game. Hence, the phrase ‘he had scored many goals’ is the most appropriate phrase to use in the given sentence.
The other options given in the question are not appropriate for the sentence. Option A, ‘he had secured many goals’, does not make sense in this context. The phrase ‘secure’ means to make certain or safe. Hence, the phrase ‘he had secured many goals’ does not make sense in this context.
Option B, ‘he made many goals’, is also not appropriate. The word ‘make’ means to create or manufacture something. Hence, the phrase ‘he made many goals’ does not make sense in this context.
Option D, ‘he had scored goals’, is also not appropriate as it does not give any information about the number of goals he had scored.
Option E, ‘No correction’, is also not appropriate as the sentence can still be improved by replacing the phrase ‘made many goals’ with the phrase ‘he had scored many goals’.
Hence, the correct option is option C ‘he had scored many goals’.

While walking across the road a bus knocked him down.
- a bus knocked down
- he was by a bus knocked
- he was knocked down by a bus
- knocked down by a bus
- No improvement
Answer: Option C. -> he was knocked down by a bus
The sentence "While walking across the road a bus knocked him down" has a grammatical error. The subject and the verb are not in agreement, which makes the sentence unclear. To make the sentence grammatically correct, we need to rephrase it using the passive voice.
The correct answer is option C: "he was knocked down by a bus."
Let's see why the other options are incorrect:
Option A: "a bus knocked down" - This option is incomplete and does not provide any information about who was knocked down.
Option B: "he was by a bus knocked" - This option has a different word order that makes the sentence difficult to understand. It also uses the preposition "by" in the wrong position.
Option D: "knocked down by a bus" - This option is also correct, but it is incomplete. It does not provide any information about the person who was knocked down.
Option E: "No improvement" - This option means that the sentence is already correct, but as we have seen, it is not.
Now, let's take a closer look at option C, the correct answer. This option uses the passive voice, which means that the focus is on the action (being knocked down) rather than the person who performed the action (the bus).
The sentence "He was knocked down by a bus" is grammatically correct and clearly conveys the meaning of the original sentence. It tells us that someone (he) was knocked down by a bus while walking across the road.
In summary, to make the sentence grammatically correct, we need to rephrase it in the passive voice using the correct word order. The correct option is C: "he was knocked down by a bus."
