At the hint of the disaster , a hundred thousand people
were forced to eradicate their house . Which of the pairs of words / phrases (1), (2), (3) and (4) given below should replace the words/phrases given in bold in the following sentences to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (5) as the answer.Solution
Eradicate means to remove. Evacuate means to vacate. When disaster arrives, houses are vacated or evacuated. Also, such a large number of people won’t be made to evacuate the house just at a hint of disaster. The disaster should have either happened or should be confirmed to happen. Thus, height of the disaster is the correct replacement for first phrase.
