Question
In each of the questions given below, four words are
printed in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is followed by options showing different combinations in which these words can be replaced to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Choose the option that gives the correct rearrangement of the words. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose Option (E). The prolonged uncertainty has eroded, undermined, shaken, and weakened investor confidence across emerging markets.Solution
The sentence lacks semantic escalation. “Eroded” and “weakened” are gradual processes, while “shaken” and “undermined” imply deeper impact. A more logical order is: Weakened confidence (initial impact) Eroded confidence (gradual decline) Shaken confidence (serious disturbance) Undermined confidence (structural damage) Option (A) corrects this progression by swapping the appropriate words.
