      Question

      Cascading fuel taxes and lockdown-related logistical

      bottlenecks (A) and a compression of the current account deficit (B) and declining pressure on the currency, thanks to moderate global crude prices (C) could be responsible for rising prices in the midst of an economic slump (D) . Direction: In each of the questions given below, a sentence is given which is divided into four parts A, B, C and D. These four parts may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of parts that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of parts that replace each other. If the sentence is correct as it is, select ‘5’ as your option.
      A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both A-C & B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D C - D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence cannot be started with any other part except (A), therefore part A cannot be exchanged. Parts B & C both use the conjunction ‘and’ in continuation which is grammatically inappropriate, therefore one of these parts need to be replaced with part (D) out of which part (B) seems to be an appropriate choice which makes the sentence meaningful. Cascading fuel taxes and lockdown-related logistical bottlenecks could be responsible for rising prices in the midst of an economic slump and declining pressure on the currency, thanks to moderate global crude prices and a compression of the current account deficit.
