Question
In the sentence, certain words are in bold and numbered from A to E, which are the possible pairs to be interchanged. Choose the pair(s) of words which need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. There was a production (
- A among the major (
- B blocs of countries on whether comprehensively (
- C addressing plastic pollution (
- D requires eliminating plastic disagreement (
- E itself.
Solution
The two words that need to be swapped are (A) production and (E) disagreement . The sentence, as it is, is not making sense. The phrase "a production among the major blocs" is not a standard English construction. However, a "disagreement among the major blocs" is a common and logical phrase. By swapping the two words, the sentence becomes: "There was a disagreement among the major blocs of countries on whether comprehensively addressing plastic pollution requires eliminating plastic production itself."
