You are required to identify the correct pair(s) of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually meaningful. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose option (E) – “No interchange required.” The sudden (A) surge in transaction volume (B) strained the servers, causing a temporary (C) disruption in services and reducing overall (D) resilience of the digital infrastructure.Solution
