Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

So, the correct sentence is: As soon as I called her, she came out of her house.
