Question
In each sentence below four words have been printed in
bold which are numbered (1), (2), (3) and (4) One of these words may be misspelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the wrongly spelt or inappropriate word. The number of that word is the answer. If all the words are correctly spelt and are appropriate the answer is (5) i.e. ‘All correct.' After painstaking (1)/ negotiations, marked by inflammatory (2)/ exchanges, Washington and Kyiv have signed (3)/ an agreement that would gran d (4)/ the U.S. access to Ukraine’s critical mineral and oil and gas resources through a joint investment fund. All correct (5)Solution
The word "grand" is incorrect in this context. The correct word should be "grant", as it means to give or allow something, especially in the context of providing access. "Grand" refers to something large or magnificent, which doesn't fit the intended meaning of allowing access to resources.
