    C A-D and B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘recent confidence’ is inappropriate. it should be exchanged. It can be exchanged with A, B and D. But the word ‘exude;’ means ‘to have a lot of a particular quality or feeling’. It is suitable at C, not at B. So, B-C should be exchanged. With the increasing demand for urea from paddy farmers following the recent rains, officials have exuded confidence about supplying the adequate quantity of urea through primary agricultural cooperative societies in Ramanathapuram district.
