In each question four words are highlighted, which may or may not be correctly placed. Choose the correct replacement in between the highlighted words that can give appropriate meaning to the sentence.
Next week, Patrick will join the team (A) of senior football players to be honored (B) as a member (C) of the coach’s special echelon (D)
Correct Answer :
Only (A) -(D)
Solution :
The correct option is Only (A) -(D).
Let's analyze the sentence and check the contextual suitability of the highlighted words:
"Next week, Patrick will join the team (A) of senior football players to be honored (B) as a member (C) of the coach’s special echelon (D)"
1. Looking at word (A) team and word (D) echelon:
- An echelon refers to a level or rank in an organization, a group, or a society (e.g., "top echelon", "special echelon of senior football players").
- A team refers to a group of players forming one side in a competitive game or sport (e.g., "member of the coach's special team").
2. Swapping (A) team with (D) echelon:
- Position (A) becomes: "...join the echelon (D) of senior football players..."
- Position (D) becomes: "...as a member of the coach’s special team (A)."
3. Let's verify the sentence after replacing (A) with (D):
"Next week, Patrick will join the echelon of senior football players to be honored as a member of the coach’s special team."
This sentence makes complete grammatical and contextual sense. Therefore, the correct replacement needed is between (A) and (D).
