CHOICES

6

Choice-A

Several teachers took advantage of our to build their academic careers. The sentence is incorrect because “our” is a possessive determiner, and it must be followed by a noun (e.g., our time, our resources). Here, “our” is used alone, which makes the sentence incomplete.

Wrong No change

7

Choice-B

Several teachers took advantage of us to build their academic careers. The sentence is grammatically correct in terms of structure and usage. It effectively conveys that some teachers exploited the individuals mentioned to advance their own academic careers. The use of "us" is appropriate here, indicating the targeted group that was taken advantage of by the teachers.

Wrong us

8

Choice-C

Several teachers took advantage of we to build their academic careers. The sentence is wrong because “we” is a subject pronoun, but after the preposition “of,” we need an object pronoun like 'us'.

Correct we

9

Choice-D

Several teachers took advantage of our’s to build their academic careers. The sentence is grammatically incorrect due to the misuse of "our’s".“Our’s” is not a correct form in English. Possessive pronouns like ours do not take apostrophes, so our’s is incorrect.

Wrong our’s
