Directions: The following sentence test correctness and effectiveness of expression. A part of the sentence is underlined. Beneath the sentence are given different ways of phrasing the underlined material. Option 1 repeats the original phrasing; the other options are different. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select option 1; if not, select one of the other options.

This year, I will try and make project as well or better than anyone else's in the office.

try to make my project as well or better
try to give my project as well or better
try to do my project as good or better

I think correction is required in the non underlined part - replace "anyone else" with "anyone else's". We are comparing "my project" with "anyone else's"
