Question

The word rectify could substitute for the italicized word(s) in which of these sentences? A. Kyla has to retake her driving test because she drove too quickly. B. Kyla sets aside time to study every night before bed. C. Kyla wants to supervise the prom preparations. D. Kyla went back to the coffee shop to correct a bad impression she made.

Answer 1

Hi! :)

The word rectify means to correct something or put it right, so it could replace the word correct in option D. 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

To rectify means to set something straight, or to correct. The only sentence in which rectify would make sense is option D - Kyla went back to the coffee shop to correct a bad impression she made; none of the other sentences involve amending something. It makes sense to replace correct with rectify in sentence D: "Kyla went back to the coffee shop to rectify a bad impression she made."

Answer:
D. Kyla went back to the coffee shop to correct a bad impression she made
