A part of the sentence is underlined. Choose the alternative that best improves the underlined part. If no improvement is needed, select the option indicating no improvement. This survey is concerning your health as well as that of your family.

Introduction / Context:

This item tests your knowledge of correct verb phrases and prepositions when describing what a survey is about. English has some fixed patterns such as be concerned with and concern that sound more natural than is concerning in many contexts. The goal is to select the phrase that best expresses the intended meaning in standard formal English.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Original sentence: This survey is concerning your health as well as that of your family.
• The underlined part is is concerning.
• Options: concerns with, is concerned with, concerns to, no improvement.
• We assume a formal written style suitable for questionnaires or official documents.

Concept / Approach:

The verb concern can appear in different structures. The survey concerns your health is correct. The survey is concerned with your health is also correct and formal. However, is concerning you usually means is worrying you, which is a different sense and more commonly used with a direct object pronoun. Here we need a phrase meaning is about or deals with your health, that is, a passive construction combined with the preposition with.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:

Rewrite the sentence as This survey is concerned with your health as well as that of your family. This version appears in many official forms and research questionnaires, so it is a recognised formal pattern. If you try This survey concerns with your health, the phrase sounds incorrect even to a casual reader, confirming that is concerned with is the right choice among the given options.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Concerns with is wrong because concern in the active sense does not regularly take with.

Concerns to is wrong because concern to is seldom used and sounds ungrammatical in this context.

No improvement is wrong because is concerning is unusual and suggests a different meaning related to worry rather than topic.

Common Pitfalls:

Learners often overlook subtle differences in verb plus preposition combinations. Another pitfall is to accept the original because it sounds formal, even when it is not the best usage. To avoid mistakes, remember that in passive expressions describing subject matter, the structure be concerned with is very common and safe.

Final Answer:

The underlined part should be replaced with is concerned with.
