Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
He has grown into a beautiful youth.
into a handsome youth
To solve this question, we need to determine which option best replaces the underlined segment "into a beautiful youth" in the sentence "He has grown into a beautiful youth." The task is to maintain grammatical correctness and the intended meaning.
Firstly, consider the phrase "grown into." The verb "grown" commonly pairs with the preposition "into" when describing a transformation over time to denote how someone or something has changed. Therefore, the phrase "into a beautiful youth" is appropriately structured in terms of verb-preposition combination.
Next, analyze the adjective choice. The sentence initially uses "beautiful," which is typically used to describe objects or females rather than males. Generally, "handsome" is more appropriate for describing males. Thus, the adjective substitution should reflect this;
Looking at the options:
into a handsome youth (preserves the structure and provides a more suitable adjective)
in a handsome youth (incorrect preposition "in")
a beautiful youth (incorrect verb-preposition form; lacking "into")
in a beautiful youth (incorrect preposition "in")
The most appropriate substitution that retains grammatical correctness and conveys the intended meaning is: into a handsome youth.
