Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: ordered his immediate dismissal

Explanation:


Given data

  • Manager reacts upon learning about fraud.
  • We need a natural expression for firing/dismissal.


Concept/Approach
English 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 analysis
ordered 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 Answer
He ordered his immediate dismissal.
