    Question

    In each of the following questions a grammatically

    correct and meaningful sentence is given with four words given in bold in each. Which of the following words should replace each other to form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. The meaning can be different from the one in question. In a competitive job market, candidates must articulate (a) their skills clearly, differentiate (b) themselves from peers, and overconfident (c) achievements without appearing understate (d).
    A c–d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a–b and c-d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C a–c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D b–d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E b–c and a-d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence discusses professional self-presentation. One can understate achievements (verb + object), but cannot overconfident achievements because overconfident is an adjective, not a verb. Conversely, a person can appear overconfident, which correctly uses the adjective. Swapping overconfident ↔ understate aligns each word with its correct grammatical role and intended meaning.
