    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. E-commerce initiative (A) Amazon said it is expanding (B) its 'packaging-free shipment' (PFS) programme, an India-first major (C) , to nine cities during(D) Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Nagpur, sometime including(E) the next year.
    A A-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A-E & C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-C & D-E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No change required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    'Initiative' is better suited at (C), to refer to the PFS programme of Amazon. 'Major' can then be used at (A), to refer to the company, i.e. Amazon. 'Major', as a noun, can mean 'a major organization or competition'. At D- the connector 'including' would be appropriate to describe the relationship between cities and name of some of the cities; at E- 'during' would be correct as it would indicate the time period reference. Option D is the right answer.
