In the following question, a sentence is given with four words marked as (A), (B), (C) and (D). These words may or may not be placed in the correct order. Four options with different arrangements of these words have been provided. Mark the option with the correct arrangement as the answer. If no rearrangement is required, mark option (5) as your answer.

Known for his audience(A) comebacks, the comedian’s amusing(B) stand-up routine(C) is a hit with every witty(D).

The correct option is A-D.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let's analyze the given sentence and the context of the words marked in bold:

"Known for his audience(A) comebacks, the comedian’s amusing(B) stand-up routine(C) is a hit with every witty(D)."

1. In position (A), the word "audience" is a noun. However, it modifies "comebacks", which requires an adjective describing the nature of the comebacks (e.g., clever or humorous). Looking at word (D), "witty" is an adjective meaning quick and inventive verbal humor. Switching "witty" into position (A) gives "witty comebacks", which makes logical sense.

2. In position (D), the word follows "every", which requires a singular countable noun (e.g., every member, every person, every audience). "Witty" is an adjective and cannot logically end the sentence here. Placing "audience" into position (D) gives "...a hit with every audience", which is grammatically correct and meaningful.

3. The words "amusing" (B) and "routine" (C) are already correctly placed, describing the comedian's stand-up act ("amusing stand-up routine").

By swapping (A) and (D), the corrected sentence reads:

"Known for his witty(A) comebacks, the comedian’s amusing(B) stand-up routine(C) is a hit with every audience(D)."

Therefore, the correct arrangement requires swapping A-D.
