    A Shift in gears Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Enhanced version Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Fundamental shift Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Poignant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (c) The second statement is incorrect because the bold part starts with a vowel sound and it has an indefinite article “a” before it. In the first sentence we can see that the bold part is not correct because that is not implying the intended meaning of emergence of new e-commerce amid covid. Therefore it is clear that we have to change the same in order to make it grammatically and contextually correct. Now coming to the given options as replacements, we can see that if we use C, the first sentence will make sense. Now we have to try this option in the rest of the cases also. When we do that, we can see that it makes sense in those cases also. ‘Fundamental’ means ‘forming a necessary base or core; of central importance’ ‘Shift’ means ‘a slight change in position, direction, or tendency’. The correct statements would be: I. Amid Covid gloom, a new world order for e-commerce is emerging with fundamental shift in these areas. II. The 1991 reforms saw a fundamental shift in the legal approach to industry and services. III. In order to see real change in our warming climate, a fundamental shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is needed across the globe. This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.
