Identify the phrase which can correctly substitute the underlined part of the sentence. If the sentence is correct, as it is, the answer should be 'no improvement is required'.

Divya is interested in peanuts. The smallest quantity of peanut butter can hospitalise her.

The correct answer is '3' i.e. allergic to .

Key Points

• The sentence talks about Divya's reaction to peanuts, which is so severe that even a small amount of peanut butter can hospitalize her.
• The correct phrase to describe such a reaction is "allergic to."
• Option 1 (enamoured of): This means being fond of or in love with something, which does not fit the context.
• Option 2 (fatal to): Though this implies something can cause death, it is too extreme and not contextually appropriate here.
• Option 4 (no improvement is required): The original phrase ("interested in") is incorrect as it does not convey the severe reaction described.

Correct sentence: Divya is allergic to peanuts. The smallest quantity of peanut butter can hospitalise her.
