Question

Rewrite using the verb form of the underlined noun:
He made a success of all his undertakings.

• A. He successfully undertook everything.
• B. He was successful in undertaking everything.
• C. He succeeded in all his undertakings.
• D. His successness is there in all his undertakings.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

We should always keep in mind the tense of the original sentence and shouldn't ever try to change the tense while rewriting. Succeed is the verb form of 'success'. The sentence being in past tense, -ed is added to the verb and it becomes 'succeeded'. So, Option C becomes correct.
Option A is incorrect because successfully is an adverb.
Option B is incorrect because successful is an adjective.
Option D is incorrect because the word, seccessness, doesn't exist.
