    bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

    A Only A-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only B-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both A-D & B-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The sentence is correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A-D (wonder ↔ injected): "Has wonder" is incorrect; it should be "has injected" to fit the sentence structure. "People wonder" is the correct phrase. B & C are correct at their places and does not require any replacement. Thus, swapping A-D & B-C makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The American President has injected (D) a disorienting volatility (B) into the world economy, leaving it off (C) balance as people wonder (A) what he will do next.
