In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No improvement’.
The woman stood up from her chair and went fourth towards the stage to perform the best song of her career.
A. Gone fourth towards
B. Went forth towards
C. Go forth towards
D. Going forward to
The sentence uses the form went fourth towards, which is incorrect and needs improvement.
The sentence uses the numerical adjective 'fourth' (4th), which is incorrect.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
