If the sentence is correct as it is and no correction is required, mark (5) as the answer.

    were forced to eradicate their house .
    A ways of disaster, evade their homes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B way in the disaster, eradicate their houses Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C height of the disaster, evacuate their homes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D depth in the disaster, toggle their house Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect 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.
