    printed in bold and marked as (A), (B), (C), (D). These words may or may not be in their correct positions. Choose the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If the sentence is correct as it is, select Option (E).

    A Only (A–B) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only (C–D) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both (A–C) and (B–D) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only (B–C) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The statement is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrase “expand stability” is awkward; the correct expression is “promote stability.” Also “promote trade cooperation” is acceptable but “expand trade cooperation” fits better. Thus swapping A–B corrects the sentence. Correct sentence: agreements aim to promote stability by encouraging nations to expand trade cooperation and maintain diplomatic relations.
