Question
In the question below, two sentences are given and each
of them consists of two words highlighted in bold. The words may be incorrectly placed and need to be interchanged in order to make both the sentences contextually correct. From the options, choose the option that represents the correct combination of the words that need to be interchanged. I. Nothing is more (1) beautiful to a mother than her children, and she will always choose to (2) deft them over anything else. II. The (3) protect carpenter was able to take a few old boards and turn them into a (4) precious bookshelf.Solution
(a) is the right answer. We need to replace (1) with (4) and (2) with (3). We need a verb in its base form to fit in the infinitive construction of TO+VERB. DEFT (skilled) is an adjective. PROTECT (to keep safe from harm or injury) is a verb. The first sentence talks about mothers. It states that children are very dear to mothers and they will go to any length to keep them safe. The second sentence talks about how the carpenter was able to use some old boards and make a bookshelf.
