Directions (6-10):In each of the questions given below four words are
given in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct position.

In a significant remove(A), India became one of the signatories(B) to the Christchurch Call for Action to development(C) extremist and violent content(D) online
(a) B-D
(b) A-C
(c) C-D
(d) A-B
(e) No replacement required.
Answer & Explanation
Ans. b
Exp. In the given statement, we will notice that the positions of (B)signatories and (D)content are correct in context of the sentence. But (A)remove and (C)development have been incorrectly placed because here ‘to+verb’ structure is to be followed so the placement of (C) is incorrect and interchanging it with (A) will make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. The correct statement thus formed will be, “In a significant development, India became one of the signatories to the Christchurch Call for Action to remove extremist and violent content online.” Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
The next government(A) may have a deteriorating (B) time as the geopolitical(C) situation in west Asia is tougher(D) fast

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b
Exp. In the given statement, we will notice that the positions of (A)government and (C)geopolitical are correct in context of the sentence. But (B)deteriorating and (D)tougher have been incorrectly placed because in the sentence situation in west Asia is being discussed and in the last part ‘tougher’ is unable to add up to the context of the sentence but interchanging it with ‘deteriorating’ will make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. The correct statement thus formed will be, “The next government may have a tougher time as the geopolitical situation in west Asia is deteriorating fast.” Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a
Exp. In the given statement, we will notice that the positions of (A)safeguarding and (D)emergency are correct in context of the sentence. But (B)fight and (C)irrespective have been incorrectly placed because in the sentence author is talking about the steps to safeguard freedom of speech and for this he is suggesting to unite irrespective of various ideological differences. So interchanging (B) and (C) will make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. The correct statement thus formed will be, “The safeguarding of free speech demands unity irrespective of ideological colours and the fight against the Emergency.” Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c
Exp. In the given statement, we will notice that the positions of (C)world and (D)exquisite are correct in context of the sentence. But (A)some and (B)hotly have been incorrectly placed because use of hotly(adj) in the sentence is not correct so interchanging option (A) and (B) will make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. The correct sentence thus formed will be, “The hotly contested competition saw some of the best players in the world put on exquisite performances.” Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

So interchanging (A) and (D) will make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct. The correct sentence thus formed will be, “At the heart of the latest controversy is the most important database used for the new GDP series.” Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
