From the choices provided below, select the sequence of words that, when rearranged, makes the given sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.
At the height of the landing (A) cycle, we keep performance (B) reports about seasoned executives hearing (C) packages worth millions of dollars.
Correct Answer :
BCA
Solution :
The correct option is BCA.
To make the given sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, let us analyze the underlined parts marked with (A), (B), and (C):
Given sentence:
"At the height of the landing (A) cycle, we keep performance (B) reports about seasoned executives hearing (C) packages worth millions of dollars."
Step-by-step breakdown for rearrangement:
1. Analyzing position (A):
The word "landing" does not make sense when talking about a financial or business context with corporate executive packages. Instead, executive compensation or hiring happens during a "hiring" cycle. "Hearing" (C) comes close, but "hiring" is not directly there—wait, looking at the words:
(A) landing
(B) performance
(C) hearing
Wait, let's swap them to see which word fits best in each position:
- If we put (B) "performance" at (A): "At the height of the performance cycle..." - This makes logical sense as business performance cycles or appraisal cycles are common context.
- If we put (C) "hearing" at (B): "...we keep hearing reports..." - The phrase "keep hearing reports" is a grammatically sound and idiomatic expression.
- If we put (A) "landing" at (C): "...about seasoned executives landing packages worth millions of dollars." - The verb "landing" means securing or acquiring something desirable (e.g., landing a contract/package), which fits perfectly with "packages worth millions of dollars".
2. Constructing the rearranged sentence:
Replacing (A) with (B), (B) with (C), and (C) with (A):
"At the height of the performance cycle, we keep hearing reports about seasoned executives landing packages worth millions of dollars."
3. Conclusion:
Thus, the correct sequence of words to replace positions (A), (B), and (C) is BCA.
