Sentence improvement — Choose the standard collocation with ‘‘examination’’ to improve ‘‘As she was suffering from high fever, she could not face the examination.’’ without altering the medical condition context or time frame.

Given data
As she was suffering from high fever, she could not face the examination.

Concept/Approach
In academic contexts, the natural verb is ‘‘take an examination/test’’ rather than ‘‘face’’ an examination. We correct the verb while keeping the causal clause intact.

Option analysis
bear — Wrong collocation; we ‘‘bear pain’’, not an exam.suffer — Would yield ‘‘suffer the examination’’, unidiomatic.take — Correct: ‘‘she could not take the examination.’’No improvement — Retains the awkward verb ‘‘face’’.

Verification/Alternative
‘‘Sit for the examination’’ also works in BrE; ‘‘take the exam’’ is standard globally.

Common pitfalls
Using dramatic verbs like ‘‘face’’ where a fixed academic collocation is expected.
