Answer should be (C) Does not do exercise or does not take exercise seriously.

Thomas said:   1 decade ago
Take exercise? When do we use this phrase?

Urja said:   1 decade ago
How can you say that fatter is wrong?

Fatter in not wrong. Because maybe the guy is already fat.

Meghna said:   1 decade ago
Ya, I think the answer should be [C] too. I agree with @Priya and also, 'exercise' can be used as a verb.

Deepthi said:   1 decade ago
A person cannot take the exercise, a person can do exercise so [c] is the answer.

Harsh said:   1 decade ago
Answer should be "c".

Because he doesn't "do" exercise.

Raji said:   1 decade ago
Since the person becoming fatter than before why can't we use "getting fatter" in the sentence.

Priya said:   10 years ago
Why can't it be like he is become in fat?

Sneha said:   9 years ago
We use Fatter in comparative sentence and this sentence is not comparative. That's why here using Fat.

Shashank said:   9 years ago
Fatter than before - this sense makes the use of fatter right here. Also take exercise is an accepted use like in you take the examination. So, I feel the option D 'no error' is likely here.
