Question 1095

Direction : In the question given below four words are highlighted which may or may not be in their proper place. You are required to interchange these words in order to form meaningfully correct sentences. The withdrawal (a) down of tensions between Assam and Mizoram, at least at the leadership (b) level, with the respective (c) governments announcing the drawing (d) of FIRs against the Chief Minister of Assam and a Rajya Sabha MP from Mizoram, among other steps, comes as a great relief.

Answer

a - d

Why?

The correct answer is 'Option 1' . Key Points In the given sentence, the word " withdrawal " (a) is incorrectly used and should be replaced with " drawing " (d) . The phrase " drawing down of tensions " makes more sense than " withdrawal down of tensions ". The word " leadership " (b) is correctly placed and does not need to be interchanged. The word " respective " (c) is also correctly placed and does not need to be interchanged. Therefore, the correct answer is ' a - d '. Correct sentence: The drawing down of tensions between Assam and Mizoram, at least at the leadership level, with the respective governments announcing the withdrawal of FIRs against the Chief Minister of Assam and a Rajya Sabha MP from Mizoram, among other steps, comes as a great relief . Additional Information Option 2: Interchanging b - d would make the sentence incorrect as "leadership of FIRs" and "drawing level" do not make sense. Option 3: Interchanging a - c and b - d would make the sentence incorrect as "respective down" and "leadership of FIRs" do not make sense. Option 4: Interchanging a - b and c - d would make the sentence incorrect as "leadership down" and "respective of FIRs" do not make sense. Option 5: No interchange required would imply the original sentence is correct, which it is not.
