Easy

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

He tried to ______his behaviour after receiving the feedback from his mentor.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> "altar" is a noun referring to a religious table/platform, not a verb for changing behavior.

Option 2 -> "alter" is a verb meaning to change or modify something, fitting perfectly with changing behavior.

Option 3 -> "altercate" means to argue or dispute heatedly, which doesn't fit the context of improving behavior.

Option 4 -> "oust" means to expel or remove someone from a position, irrelevant to personal behavior modification.

Hence, Option 2: alter -> The sentence requires a verb that means "to change or modify." After receiving constructive feedback from his mentor, he would naturally try to alter (change) his behavior for improvement. -> correct
