Question

This book............five sections.

• A. comprises of
• B. comprises
• C. consists
• D. comprises to

Hint:

When using "comprises," it should be followed directly by the components being described without "of" or other prepositions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the sentence.
The sentence needs the correct verb to describe the structure of the book. The verb must appropriately describe the book's contents in terms of its sections.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) comprises of: This is incorrect. "Comprises" itself does not require "of." The phrase "comprises of" is grammatically incorrect.
(B) comprises: Correct — "Comprises" means "consists of" or "includes," and it is used correctly without "of."
(C) consists: While "consists" could work, the proper verb to use in this context is "comprises" for books and similar entities.
(D) comprises to: This is incorrect, as the preposition "to" is unnecessary and grammatically wrong.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B) comprises, which correctly fits the sentence structure.
