A sentence with five highlighted words is given below. These words may not be in their correct positions. Choose the correct sequence of the highlighted words from the options to form a grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence.

Freedom of question (A) is the cornerstone of a collective (B) democracy, empowering citizens to expression (C), critique, and contribute (D) to the vibrant (E) conscience of the nation.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze each highlighted word and its appropriateness in the sentence:

- (A) *question*: Means an inquiry or doubt. It does not fit the phrase "freedom of question" which is incorrect here.

- (B) *collective*: Means done by a group. It correctly describes "conscience" implying shared values.

- (C) *expression*: Means conveying thoughts or feelings. "Freedom of expression" is a correct and common phrase.

- (D) *contribute*: Means to give or add. It fits well with "critique, and contribute to..."

- (E) *vibrant*: Means full of energy. It suitably modifies "democracy" as in "vibrant democracy."

2. Rearranging the words in the sentence to make it meaningful:

"Freedom of expression (C) is the cornerstone of a vibrant (E) democracy, empowering citizens to question (A), critique, and contribute (D) to the collective (B) conscience of the nation."
