Correct Answer :

Option C

A-B & C-D

Solution :

The correct option is A-B & C-D.

Let's analyze the sentence to find the correct placement for each bold word based on context and grammar:
Original Sentence: "The primitive mirror (A) society was built to virtual (B) the carefree state of lived (C) that people once nature (D) in."

1. Analyzing positions (A) and (B):
- The phrase "built to [verb]" requires an infinitive verb after "to". "mirror" is a verb meaning to reflect or copy, whereas "virtual" is an adjective.
- Modifying "society", we need an adjective like "virtual". Thus, swapping mirror (A) and virtual (B) gives: "The primitive virtual society was built to mirror..." which makes perfect grammatical and contextual sense.

2. Analyzing positions (C) and (D):
- The phrase "state of [noun]" requires a noun. "nature" is a noun describing a state of being or existence.
- The phrase "that people once [verb] in" requires a past tense verb. "lived" is a past tense verb.
- Therefore, swapping lived (C) and nature (D) gives: "...state of nature that people once lived in."

Putting it all together, the corrected sentence reads:
"The primitive virtual society was built to mirror the carefree state of nature that people once lived in."

Hence, the correct word interchanges are A-B & C-D.
