From the options, choose the option that represents the correct combination of the words that need to be interchanged. I.

    A 1 - 3, 2 - 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1 - 4, 2 - 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 - 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 - 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No interchange required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I - ELIMINATION, which means abolishing or getting rid of, does not fit in (1) contextually since that part of the sentence talks about the practice of excreting in the open. It should be interchanged with DEFECATION, which means passing stool, from (2) where the sentence talks about putting an end to the said practice.
