People thronged the burial families ( 1) to offer a range of dishes and departed (2) to the deceased members of their ground (3) in a symbolic gesture of love towards the desserts (4) ones .

In the question below four words are given in bold. These four words are may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of the words that replace each other.

To find the correct combination of words that need to be swapped, let's analyze the sentence structure and context word by word:

The original sentence is:
"People thronged the burial families (1) to offer a range of dishes and departed to the deceased members of their ground (3) in a symbolic gesture of love towards the desserts (4) ones."
Note: The sentence in the prompt seems to have a slightly misplaced sequence. Let's look at the bolded words in their numbered positions:
1. families
2. departed
3. ground
4. desserts

Let's evaluate the syntax and meaning:
- "burial families (1)": A "burial ground" is a standard collocation referring to a cemetery or graveyard. Thus, swapping families (1) with ground (3) gives "burial ground (3)", which makes perfect sense.
- "members of their ground (3)": After swapping, this becomes "members of their families (1)", which is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.
- "love towards the desserts (4) ones": The phrase "departed (2) ones" is a common euphemism for people who have died. Swapping departed (2) with desserts (4) gives "love towards the departed (2) ones."
- "dishes and departed (2)": Swapping this with desserts (4) gives "dishes and desserts (4)", which refers to types of food offered, fitting the context of offering food to the deceased.

Therefore, both pairs 1-3 (swapping "families" and "ground") and 2-4 (swapping "departed" and "desserts") must be exchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

The corrected sentence reads:
"People thronged the burial ground (3) to offer a range of dishes and desserts (4) in a symbolic gesture of love towards the departed (2) members of their families (1)."

Thus, the correct option is 1-3 and 2-4.
