Answer
Correct Answer: ordered his immediate dismissal
Explanation
Given data
- Manager reacts upon learning about fraud.
- We need a natural expression for firing/dismissal.
Concept/ApproachEnglish prefers a compact noun phrase for formal personnel actions: "order his immediate dismissal." This also places "immediate" next to the noun it modifies ("dismissal").
Option analysisordered his immediate dismissal — concise, correct collocation and word order. ✅immediately ordered his dismissed — wrong form ("dismissed" as adjective without noun).immediately order dismissal of his — wrong tense and possessive placement.ordered for immediately dismissal of him — unidiomatic "ordered for" and clumsy phrasing.
Common pitfalls
- Misplacing adverbs like "immediately" away from the noun they modify.
Final AnswerHe ordered his immediate dismissal.
