      Question

      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. If no change is required, mark 'No change required' as your answer. I realized that I might have a bit of a sugar problem (A) ; it wasn't so much that I was worried about gaining weight, but all the sugar slumped over (B) my veins left me feeling coursing through (C).
      A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C C-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both A-C & C-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No change required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Phrase C is incorrectly placed as 'coursing through' is used to describe the flow of something so this phrase will more aptly be associated with sugar and veins (sugar flowing through the veins). Phrase B, i.e., 'slumped over' is used to describe the feeling of heaviness and thus, can be interchanged with phrase C (meaning that the subject had the feeling of heaviness). Phrase A is placed correctly. So, phrases B and C need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
