Salman Khan . . . . . . . . a part of the upcoming Race 4.

A) will also be B) also will be C) will be also D) will also

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option A

Solution:

Correct Answer: Option A: will also be

Explanation:
In English grammar, the placement of adverbs is important for maintaining proper syntax and clarity. In this sentence, the adverb "also" modifies the verb phrase "will be," indicating that Salman Khan will be participating in the upcoming Race 4 in addition to something else. The correct placement of "also" is before the main verb "will be." Therefore, Option A: will also be is the correct choice.

Options B and C are incorrect because they place "also" between "will" and "be," disrupting the correct word order.
Option D is incorrect because it only places "also" after "will," which also disrupts the correct word order.

There are a few different ways 'among' and 'between' are used. The most common use for 'among' is when something is in or with a group of a few, several, or many things. The most common use of 'between' is when something is in the middle of two things or two groups of things. It is sometimes used in the phrase in between.
