Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Only (A)-(B)

Solution :

The correct answer is Only (A)-(B).

To determine the correct arrangement of the bold words, let us analyze the context and grammatical structure of the sentence:

1. Looking at the phrase "Indian telecom operators have making (A)...":
The present perfect auxiliary verb "have" requires a past participle verb form (V3). The present participle "making" is grammatically incorrect after "have" here. However, the word "surpassed (B)" is in past participle form and logically fits the phrase: "have surpassed the three-year 5G network rollout target".

2. Looking at the next part of the sentence: "...and are now surpassed (B) efforts...":
The phrase "are now" requires a present participle (V-ing form) to show an ongoing activity. Replacing "surpassed" with "making" gives: "and are now making efforts...", which is grammatically sound and meaningful.

3. Checking words (C) and (D):
- "enhance (C)" fits correctly after the infinitive marker "to" ("to enhance adoption...").
- "segments (D)" correctly functions as a noun following the adjective "key" ("across various key segments").

Therefore, interchanging word (A) with word (B) restores both grammatical correctness and logical meaning to the sentence.

Corrected Sentence:
"Indian telecom operators have surpassed the three-year 5G network rollout target and are now making efforts to enhance adoption of 5G applications across various key segments."
