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 correct ? If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (E) as the answer.
Please take delivery of the material and ‘’acknowledgement at the earliest.’’
In option A, send acknowledging is wrong because after send a noun is required, the right construction should be send acknowledgment. In option C, wrong idiom is used, the right idiom is at the earliest which means as soon as possible. Option D distorts the meaning of the sentence. In the original sentence, acknowledgment is used where a verb must be used. The right answer is 'Please take delivery of the material and acknowledge at the earliest'. B is the right answer.
