Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below to make a meaningful sentence:
His salary is in ________ with the amount of work he does.
Solution
Option 1 -> "in accord with" typically refers to agreement with principles or standards, not proportional relationships.
Option 2 -> "in coordination with" means working together or collaborating, which doesn't fit the context of proportionality.
Option 3 -> "in balance with" is not a standard English idiom.
Option 4 -> "in keeping with" is the correct idiom meaning consistent with, appropriate to, or proportionate to.
Hence, Option 4: keeping -> "In keeping with" is a standard English expression used to indicate that something is appropriate to, consistent with, or proportionate to something else. In this context, it correctly conveys that the salary is proportionate to the amount of work performed. -> correct
