Choose “NO CHANGE”
In fact, the correct answer to a question is not necessarily one that has changed anything at all. All Usage/Mechanics questions and some Rhetorical Skills questions offer you “NO CHANGE” as an answer choice. Do not overlook “NO CHANGE” as a possible answer to the problem. It is correct approximately 20 percent of the time it’s offered.
If your gut tells you there’s nothing wrong with the underlined phrase, don’t change the phrase.
