    In the following question, a sentence is given with

    certain phrases marked as (A), (B) and (C). Choose the option with the pair(s) of phrases that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

    A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both A-B & C-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No change required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Phrase B is incorrectly placed; the verb 'prefer' is always followed by the preposition 'to' to represent one's choice/s over other/s. Interchanging this phrase with phrase A will allow phrase B to be followed by 'to.' Phrase A, i.e., 'tend to avoid social interactions' can be perfectly associated with 'anxious introverts (giving information about them that they avoid social interactions)'. Phrase C is placed correctly. So, phrases A and B need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
