In each of the questions given below a sentence is given with three words in bold. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of these words to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
The peace talks were hindered by (A) conflicting (B) claims (C) territorial made by both nations at the summit.

The correct option is ACB.

Let's analyze the sentence structure and the usage of the bold words:
The sentence currently reads: "The peace talks were hindered by (A) conflicting (B) claims (C) territorial made by..."

Here, the noun in the phrase is claims (B). The words conflicting (A) and territorial (C) function as adjectives that modify the noun "claims".

In standard English grammar, adjectives generally precede the noun they modify. Placing the adjective "territorial" after the noun "claims" is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the adjectives must be rearranged to come before the noun.

By placing the adjectives in front of the noun, we get the grammatically correct and contextually meaningful noun phrase: "conflicting territorial claims".
This corresponds to the sequence:
1. (A) conflicting (adjective)
2. (C) territorial (adjective)
3. (B) claims (noun)

Thus, the correct sequence is ACB, and the fully corrected sentence is: "The peace talks were hindered by conflicting territorial claims made by both nations at the summit."
