I have seen in many forums people saying that certain option is wrong because it changes the meaning of the original sentence. But many a times, we see the correct answers changing the meaning of the original sentence a bit. So, here I try to clearly declassify the types of the underlined part in the question so that one may not be confused with this concept.
The underlined part falls into the following categories:
1. Absolutely error free.
2. Contains grammatical errors, but right words are used, words are placed in right places and words are properly matched.
3. Incorrect words are used, words are misplaced or words are mismatched.
Pay attention to the difference between grammar and words.
If the underlined word falls into the 1st category, there is no problem.
If it falls into the 2nd category, it means that the meaning is right and one needs to find the option that fixes the grammitacal error but doesn't change the meaning or intention of the original sentence.
If it falls into the 3rd category, we are free to change the meaning. We are assigned with a task of finding the options which make sense.
The explaination I provide is my personal observation and hence I advice readers not to accept this as a rule.
I certainly like a Kudos for this post
