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. In 1883, a Jerusalem antiquities dealer (A) named Moses Wilhelm Shapira announced the Dead Sea (B) : 15 manuscript fragments, supposedly discovered in a cave near the discovery of a remarkable artefact (C).Solution
Phrase C is incorrectly placed; the preposition 'near' is used to refer to the physical distance between two objects/places and clearly, the phrase 'the discovery of a remarkable artefact' tells about no object/place. This phrase can be correctly interchanged with phrase B, i.e., 'the Dead Sea,' which is a location. Phrase A is placed correctly. So, phrases B and C need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
