    Solution

    A (scope) and B (filling): "Scope" should be swapped with "filling" to make the sentence grammatically correct. The phrase "filling the gaps" is more appropriate in this context, referring to addressing the gaps in the law. Correct sentence: "Instead of filling the gaps in the Disaster Management Act, 2005, the Bill has removed scope for participatory governance , accountability, and efficiency from the Act."
