    A Only A-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A-C and B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-B and C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No exchange required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘pull off scrutiny’ is incorrect. The only exchange possible is ‘intense scrutiny’. So, B should be exchanged with D. Also, C is not in its correct place. Exchanging A and C will make it right. Pull off- to succeed in doing something difficult or unexpected. The Games were held under intense scrutiny and amid constant pressure from locals, but the organisers managed to pull off a clean show.
