Each question has a sentence that has an underlined part. Choose the option which rephrases the underlined part in the most appropriate manner in terms of grammar and usage. When I first became brand manager, we were spending most of our advertising budget to promote our products in the winter. It had worked in North America and Europe, where people caught colds mainly in that season. Our monthly volume data suggested however stubbornly we were shipping a lot of VapoRub between July and September, the hot monsoon season.
Explanation:
Option 1 is incorrect because the sentence should begin with the word, “however” since a contrasting piece of information is being conveyed. Secondly, option 1 contains no punctuation necessary to make the sentence coherent. Option 3 is incorrect because the word “monthly” comes at the end of the sentence. It should instead come before “volume data”. It is a case of faulty construction and makes the sentence incoherent. Option 4 is incorrect since the adverb, “however” should begin the sentence. Option 2 begins with “however” and is logically coherent in all respects. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
