Question
In each of the questions given below, four words are
printed in bold and marked as (A), (B), (C), and (D). These words may or may not be in their correct positions. Choose the option that indicates the correct combination of words that should be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If the sentence is correct as it is, choose Option (e) – The statement is correct. Diplomatic summits often highlight (A) the willingness of nations to cooperate (B) on shared challenges, even when political disagreements temporarily undermine (C) trust and restore (D) tensions between governments.Solution
The phrase “restore tensions” is incorrect because tensions are usually increased or heightened, not restored. Correct logic: Political disagreements may restore trust or undermine trust, but tensions are undermined or reduced. Swapping C and D fixes the sentence. Correct meaning: Political disagreements temporarily restore trust? Wait that is still incorrect. Better correction: Restore trust and undermine tensions. Thus swapping undermine and restore improves the sentence. Option Analysis A – Correct swap that improves logical meaning. B – Creates awkward expressions. C – Distorts the sentence meaning. D – Illogical combinations. E – Incorrect because the sentence needs correction.
