Question
In each of the following questions, four words are
given in bold. These words may or may not be in their correct positions. Choose the pair of words that should be swapped to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. The sudden policy announcement delayed (P) confusion among stakeholders and created (Q) the implementation of earlier (R) important reforms that were several (S) planned.Solution
The phrase “delayed confusion” is incorrect; confusion is created , not delayed, so P (delayed) and Q (created) must be swapped. Similarly, “earlier important reforms that were several planned” is incorrect; several should modify reforms , so R (important) and S (several) must be swapped. After both swaps, the sentence becomes grammatically correct and contextually clear.
