    Question

    In the question, a small paragraph is given with four highlighted words. You have to identify the highlighted word is correct used on its position or not. Mark an incorrectly used word 

    The human rights situation in Xinjiang became an issue of acrimonious debate at the 51st regular session of the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Council, with China nixing a draft decision sponsored by the United States of America and its axis to hold a debate on the human rights situation in Xinjiang

    A Acrimonious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Nixing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Sponsored Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Axis Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The context of the sentence talks about cooperative members to hold a debate on the human rights situation, so ‘axis’ is incorrect here, the context of the sentence is not talking about central line of any object. ‘Acrimonious’ – angry and bitter ‘Nixing’ – put to an end; cancel ‘Sponsored’ – to pay the cost of a particular event ‘Axis’ – an imaginary line about which a body rotates
