Correct Answer :

Option A

FBDCEA

Solution :

The correct sequence of words to make both sentences grammatically and contextually correct is FBDCEA.

Let's analyze the context of both sentences and match the words step-by-step:

1. Analyzing Sentence (A):
"There has been a [A] of headlines this week in the build-up [B] by the US regarding whether India should [C] a net-zero emissions target."

- Looking at "[A]", the phrase "a [A] of headlines" indicates a noun indicating a large amount or sudden flow. The word rush (F) fits perfectly: "a rush of headlines".
- Looking at "[B]", "in the build-up [B] by the US", we need a verb in the past participle form or a modifier. The word structured (B) or declare (D) could be grammatical, but looking at the context of diplomatic build-up, declare (D) doesn't fit, whereas structured (B) or another form fits. Let's look at the remaining options.
- Looking at "[C]", "whether India should [C] a net-zero emissions target", the modal verb "should" must be followed by a base verb. The word declare (D) fits perfectly here: "should declare a net-zero emissions target".

So for Sentence (A), the replacements are:
- position (A) becomes rush (F)
- position (B) remains structured (B)
- position (C) becomes declare (D)

2. Analyzing Sentence (B):
"Decarbonizing the power [D], which is India's single largest source of greenhouse gas [E], is a critical step towards [F] net-zero emissions."

- Looking at "[D]", "the power [D]" refers to an industry division. The word sector (C) fits perfectly: "the power sector".
- Looking at "[E]", "greenhouse gas [E]" is a standard term. The word emissions (E) fits perfectly: "greenhouse gas emissions".
- Looking at "[F]", "towards [F] net-zero emissions", the preposition "towards" is followed by a gerund (-ing verb). The word achieving (A) fits perfectly: "towards achieving net-zero emissions".

So for Sentence (B), the replacements are:
- position (D) becomes sector (C)
- position (E) remains emissions (E)
- position (F) becomes achieving (A)

Conclusion:
Putting the highlighted letters in the order of their original placeholders A, B, C, D, E, F:
- A → F (rush)
- B → B (structured)
- C → D (declare)
- D → C (sector)
- E → E (emissions)
- F → A (achieving)

This gives the sequence FBDCEA.
