Verbal Ability - Grammar and Reading Comprehension
Directions: Which of the phrases (1), (2), (3) and (4) given below should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and 'No correction is required', mark (5) as the answer.
Airline companies pay nearly 25 billion dollars for their right of fly over the countries other than their parent country.
'Their right to fly' is correct because 'right' is followed by the infinitive 'to' + verb when indicating permission or entitlement. 'Right of fly' is grammatically incorrect - 'of' would need a noun (like 'right of flight'). 'Right to flying' and 'right in flying' don't follow standard English patterns for expressing rights.
