In part (C) of the sentence, the verb following the phrase ‘ability to’ has been used incorrectly. In the correct form, it is followed by the 1st form of the verb, which in this case should have been ‘see’ and NOT ‘seeing’. So, the correct form of the verb 'see' can rectify the sentence.

The correct sentence would be: Myopia is a condition in which one loses the ability to see far-off objects.

This is only given by options 2 and 3.

Out of these, only option 3 uses the pronoun 'he', with the modal verb 'may', expressing his hope to keep in shape.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is 3.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

In the sentence, 'except’ should be replaced by 'expect’. 'Except' means not including while 'expect' means 'await or to anticipate'. To convey the correct sense of the sentence, 'except’ should be used here.

The second option is the answer. Properly does not hold the right meaning here. Readily means quickness which again, does not hold the right meaning here. Permissibly means acceptably which does not fit because this statement is only a remark and does not confer to any official data. Easily implies without any questions.

2) MRW55 → M = 13, R = 18, W = 23, 13 + 18 + 23 = 54 ≠ 55
3) BGL21 → B = 2, G = 7, L = 12, 2 + 7 + 12 = 21
4) GLQ36 → G = 7, L = 12, Q = 17, 7 + 12 + 17 = 36
