Question
In the question 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 option 5 as your answer. The American President has wonder (A) a disorienting volatility (B) into the world economy, leaving it off (C) balance as people injected (D) what he will do next.Solution
A-D (wonder ↔ injected): "Has wonder" is incorrect; it should be "has injected" to fit the sentence structure. "People wonder" is the correct phrase. B & C are correct at their places and does not require any replacement. Thus, swapping A-D & B-C makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The American President has injected (D) a disorienting volatility (B) into the world economy, leaving it off (C) balance as people wonder (A) what he will do next.
