In the question given below, four words are given in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct positions. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of words that should be interchanged with each other to make the sentence correct. Both consumers (A) said India remains a value market, with companies (B) buying cheaper (C) oral care and beauty products infrequently (D).

1. (A) - (C)
2. (B) - (C)
3. (A) - (B) and (C) - (D)
4. (A) - (B)

Correct answer: (A) - (B)

Solution

The sentence is contextually incorrect because 'consumers said India remains a value market' does not fit the meaning. Swapping (A) and (B) makes it 'Both companies said India remains a value market, with consumers buying cheaper oral care and beauty products infrequently,' which is logical and grammatically correct.
