Sentence I is incorrect contextually as during a war business gets smaller. The phrase “reaching new heights” refers to “more success or improvement than ever before”. So, we must change the bold phrase to rectify the given sentence. Sentence II is also wrong contextually. The sentence implies that there is a rift between the whites and the one whom the whites forced to slavery. The phrase ‘impassable barrier’ makes this sense strong. So the bold part in the sentence makes the sentence incorrect. Sentence III is grammatically incorrect. “Enforced to” means a law or order applied by an authority, but the sentence states that it is due to a natural calamity people were forced to eat grass. Coming to the options, only option B fits in all the sentences. “Reduced to” means “to bring one to a lesser or worse state than they are typically in; to reduce someone or something to a particular state is to cause that person or thing to be in that state”. If we put this phrase in the bold parts of the sentences they all make sense. The correct statements would be: I. Business was reduced to local buying and selling when the war broke out and international trading ceased. II. There was an impassable barrier between the white race and the one which they had reduced to slavery. III. Most peasants were reduced to eating grass and leaves during the severe famine in 1934. This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.
