Which of the phrases (A), (B), (C), and (D) given below should replace the phrase given in ‘’bold’’ in the following sentence to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction required, mark (E) as the answer.
Although he was seen with a drug-peddler, ‘’he is not necessarily himself a drug-peddler’’.
Use of adverb necessarily is required with the verb is. Use of adjective necessary is wrong in this context. In the original sentence himself is incorrectly placed that makes the sentence awkward. Right sentence is 'Although he was seen with a drug-peddler,he is not a drug-peddler necessarily himself'. D is the right answer.
