Question
After(A) a long day at work, Sarah encountered(B) to
unwind by taking(C) her dog for a walk in the park(D) , where she decided(E) an old friend from college. In the following question, a sentence is given with certain words marked as (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). Choose the option with the pair(s) of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If no change is required, mark 'No change required' as your answerSolution
The verb 'decided' means 'to choose something, especially after thinking carefully about several possibilities'. Here, the last part of the sentence conveys that Sarah surprisingly met her old friend from college. The verb 'decided' doesn't provide a coherent meaning in this position. The verb 'encountered' (to meet someone unexpectedly) fits perfectly in the fifth position. 'To unwind' means 'relax after a period of work or tension'. The verb 'decided' fits perfectly in the second position. So, B and E should be interchanged. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer. The correct sentence is: After a long day at work, Sarah decided to unwind by taking her dog for a walk in the park , where she encountered an old friend from college.
