Here the correct answer is Got permission.

Key Points

  • The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the sentence is option 3) "got permission."
  • In the original sentence, "Gayatri got a permission from her parents to study law," the word "a" before "permission" is unnecessary.
  • When using the verb "get" to express receiving or obtaining something, such as permission, it is not necessary to use an indefinite article ("a" or "an") before the noun.
  • Instead, the noun "permission" can be used in its singular form without an article.
    • Example: "She got permission from her boss to take time off."
  • Therefore, option 3) "got permission" is the most appropriate and grammatically correct option, as it follows the standard use of the verb "get" when expressing the act of receiving permission without the need for an indefinite article.


Correct Sentence: After a prolonged discussion, Gayatri got permission from her parents to study law.
