Question

    In the following questions, a sentence is provided with a

    highlighted phrase that may be incorrect. If the highlighted phrase is incorrect, choose the option that best replaces the phrase to make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. The court terms (A) that the company had unfairly violating (B) the employee, terminated (C) compensation ruled . (D)
    A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A-C & B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-D & B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    the correct swaps are:
    A ↔ D → "terms" ↔ "ruled"
    B ↔ C → "violating" ↔ "terminated"

    "Terms" (A) should be replaced with "ruled" (D) – correct verb for the court.
    "Violating" (B) and "terminated" (C) are misused – they need to be swapped for correct grammar and meaning.

    The court ruled that the company had unfairly terminated the employee, violating compensation terms .
