Choose the option which contains correct pair of interchanged words. In case the words require no interchange and the sentence is correct in its original form then choose option 5, i.e., 'The sentence is correct' as the answer.

    reinforced (A) long-term investors hold onto the stock, citing Waaree Energies' activity (B) footprint in the renewable sector. (ii) The decline spurred selling expanding (C) among short-term traders and suggest (D) the bearish sentiment gripping Dalal Street.
    A A-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A-D & B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A-B & C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The sentence is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In sentence (i), "reinforced" (A) does not fit with "analysts...long-term investors." Instead, it would be correct to say "analysts suggest" (D) for this context. Additionally, "activity footprint" (B) does not make sense, but "expanding footprint" (C) does, given the renewable sector context. Similarly, 'selling activity' and 'reinforced the berish' are correct After interchanging A and D and B and C, the sentences will become correct in all aspects. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
