In each of the following questions, four words are given in bold. These four words may or may not be placed correctly in the sentence. The sentence is followed by options indicating the correct combination of words that should be interchanged to make the sentence both grammatically and contextually meaningful. Identify the correct pair(s) of words that need to be swapped. If the sentence is already correct as it stands, choose option (E).

The organization is trained (A) to support (B) in conducting a qualified (C) needs assessment (D).

Correct Option: Only (A) -(C)

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let's analyze the original sentence with the highlighted words:

"The organization is trained (A) to support (B) in conducting a qualified (C) needs assessment (D)."

1. Analyze Context and Grammar:

- Look at position (A): "trained" is an adjective/participle modifying "organization". However, looking at position (C), we have "qualified". An organization can be "qualified" to do something (e.g., "The organization is qualified to support...").

- Look at position (C): "needs assessment" is a standard phrase in business and organizational management, referring to a systematic process for determining and addressing needs. The modifier before "needs assessment" often describes the type or status of the assessment or staff/organization. Here, placing "trained" before "needs assessment" (or rather, swapped with "qualified") gives "trained needs assessment" or describes a qualified organization conducting a needs assessment.

- Specifically, swapping trained (A) with qualified (C) gives:

"The organization is qualified (C) to support (B) in conducting a trained (A) needs assessment (D)." (or evaluating qualification vs training contextually).

2. Conclusion:

Exchanging word (A) trained with word (C) qualified makes the sentence grammatically sound and contextually meaningful: "The organization is qualified to support in conducting a trained needs assessment."

Therefore, the correct pair to swap is Only (A) -(C).
