    Question

    In each of the questions given below, four words are

    given in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of words that replace each other. If the sentence is correct as it is, select ‘E’ as your option. The new digital tax policy aims to complicate(A) revenue from tech giants, but critics argue that it may unintentionally amplify (B) foreign investment, especially in a market where digital rules are still fragmented (C) and legal enforcement remains robust (D) .
    A Only B–D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only A–B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only A–D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both A–C and C–D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The sentence is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence is not correct in its present form, and that’s clear from the first bold word. It is illogical to say a tax policy aims to complicate revenue — this makes no economic sense. Hence, option E can be ruled out. Now, interchanging A–B gives us: “...aims to amplify revenue...” and “...may unintentionally complicate foreign investment...” — which fits perfectly.  No need to swap anything else — C and D are already correctly placed. Correct sentence: The new digital tax policy aims to amplify revenue from tech giants, but critics argue that it may unintentionally complicate foreign investment, especially in a market where digital rules are still fragmented and legal enforcement remains robust.
