Question

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

In an age of information opinion (A), the media holds imperative (B) power to shape public overload (C), making it immense (D) that it upholds (E) truth, objectivity, and ethical responsibility over sensationalism.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The original sentence is:

_In an age of information opinion (A), the media holds imperative (B) power to shape public overload (C), making it immense (D) that it upholds (E) truth, objectivity, and ethical responsibility over sensationalism._

2. The sentence is grammatically incorrect and confusing because the highlighted words are misplaced.

3. Correct sequence of the highlighted words is: **C – D – A – B – E**.

4. Rearranged sentence:

_In an age of information overload, the media holds immense power to shape public opinion, making it imperative that it upholds truth, objectivity, and ethical responsibility over sensationalism._

5. Explanation of each word's correct placement:

- (C) **overload** fits best after "In an age of information" to form "information overload" which means an excessive amount of information.

- (D) **immense** correctly describes the "power" the media holds, so it should precede "power".

- (A) **opinion** logically follows "shape public" to form "shape public opinion".

- (B) **imperative** is used correctly in the phrase "making it imperative that it upholds...", meaning absolutely necessary.

- (E) **upholds** is correctly placed before "truth, objectivity...", meaning to maintain or support.
