    A is incorrect at its place. The word ‘congregate’ means ‘to come together in a large group of people or animals’. This is correct at C. So, exchanging A-C is correct. Also, B and D are incorrect at their places. Exchanging them would make the sentence correct. Owing to concerns regarding sharing of food and water as well as congregating in large numbers, the authorities said that some schools might choose to keep their canteens shut and encourage children to bring food and water from home.
