Directions (19-20): In each of the following questions, a sentence has been divided into four phrases. These phrases may or may not have been placed in their correct positions. Identify the correct rearrangement of the phrases to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and mark that option as your answer.

India operates the widest spectrum of (A)/ social security schemes which cater (B)/ people than any other country (C)/ to the largest number of (D)

The correct option is ABDC.

Let's analyze the given sentence fragments to determine their correct logical and grammatical order:

Fragment A: "India operates the widest spectrum of"
This fragment introduces the subject ("India") and the main verb phrase ("operates the widest spectrum of"). It naturally serves as the opening phrase of the sentence.

Fragment B: "social security schemes which cater"
This fragment completes the noun phrase started in A ("widest spectrum of social security schemes") and introduces a relative clause with the verb "cater". The verb "cater" requires the preposition "to".

Fragment D: "to the largest number of"
This fragment provides the preposition "to" required by "cater" ("cater to") followed by the quantifier phrase "the largest number of".

Fragment C: "people than any other country"
This fragment specifies who is being catered to ("people") and completes the comparative construction ("widest spectrum of... than any other country" or "largest number of people than any other country").

Connecting these parts together in the order A - B - D - C gives the complete, grammatically correct, and meaningful sentence:

"India operates the widest spectrum of social security schemes which cater to the largest number of people than any other country."

Therefore, the correct sequence is ABDC.
