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)
In the question below, four words are highlighted, which may not be correctly placed. Choose the correct replacement in between the highlighted words that can give appropriate meaning to the sentence.

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

Let us analyze the original sentence and the highlighted words labeled (A), (B), (C), and (D):

"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)"

Notice that positions (A) and (D) are highlighted words/prepositions. Let us look at the structure and context of the sentence:

1. At position (A), the phrase reads "join the team of senior football players". But wait, if we look at position (D), the word "in" or swapping the position of "of" and the ending preposition helps structure the sentence meaningfully.
2. Specifically, swapping the word/preposition at (A) with (D) rearranges the prepositional phrases so that Patrick joins the team "in" or "of" appropriate contexts, properly connecting the phrase "the coach's special echelon" to the team structure.
3. Swapping (A) and (D) correctly fixes the positions of the prepositions to make the sentence grammatically coherent and contextually precise.

Therefore, the required interchange is between word (A) and word (D).

Thus, the correct choice is Only (A)-(D).
