Correct Answer :

Option A

BCA

Solution :

The correct option is BCA.

Let's analyze the given sentence to identify the logical and grammatical errors created by the highlighted words (A), (B), and (C):

"At the height of the landing (A) cycle, we keep performance (B) reports about seasoned executives hearing (C) packages worth millions of dollars."

1. Analyzing segment (A) - landing:
The phrase "landing cycle" does not fit the context of corporate executives and "packages worth millions of dollars." Executive recruitment typically involves a "hiring" cycle. Looking at option word (C) "hearing", replacing (A) with a word related to recruitment fits, but let's check the context of "cycle" and executive packages.
Wait, let's examine the three swapped words: (A) landing, (B) performance, (C) hearing.

2. Swapping with choice BCA:
If we replace:
• Position (A) with (B) performance
• Position (B) with (C) hearing
• Position (C) with (A) landing

Let's read the reconstructed sentence:
"At the height of the performance (B) cycle, we keep hearing (C) reports about seasoned executives landing (A) packages worth millions of dollars."

3. Evaluating the meaning of the rearranged sentence:
• "performance cycle": A standard business term referring to periodic evaluations or review cycles.
• "keep hearing reports": A natural English idiom meaning to repeatedly receive news or updates.
• "executives landing packages": In business context, "landing a package/job" means successfully securing or obtaining a lucrative compensation package.

Thus, replacing (A) with B, (B) with C, and (C) with A restores both the proper grammatical structure and contextual meaning of the sentence.
