Question
A sentence is given in which certain words are
highlighted. Choose the option with the pair/s of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. If no change is required, mark E as your response. Subsequent (A) to the 1996 elections, which marked a turning (B) point in the reduction of electoral institutions (C) , surveys showed that trust (D) in the Election Commission was the highest among the major public malpractices (E) in India.Solution
The word 'malpractices' is incorrectly used at E, as the sentence suggests that the word that should appear at E should signify the type of organisation of which the Election Commission is an example. 'Institutions' is the right word in the context. 'Malpractices' can be used at C, implying that the 1996 elections marked a reduction in wrongdoings at the time of election.
