Solution
Here, âonslaughterâ is the wrong word. The correct word is âonslaughtâ, which means âa very powerful attackâ. There is another word âslaughterâ, which means âthe killing of many people cruelly and unfairlyâ. This is not appropriate here. Besides tightening the purse strings of States, administrations also witnessed an onslaught on the principles of federalism during the pandemic.
