(A) Beside tightening the purse strings of States
(B) administrations also witnessed an onslaught on
(C) the principles of federalism for the pandemic
Here, ‘onslaughter’ is the wrong word. The correct word is ‘onslaught’, which means ‘a very powerful attack’. There is another word ‘slaughter’, which means ‘the killing of many people cruelly and unfairly’. 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.
