Question
Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the
bold segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’. Spreading awareness about the importance of environmental protection and the steps open to citizens in case they witness pollution has rightly been identified as the first priority.Solution
