Question

In each of the questions below, five words are given in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct positions. The sentence is followed by options indicating the correct pair of words that should be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct pair of words to be swapped. If the sentence is already correct, select option (e).

A rugged (A) ceiling fan uses the time-tested induction (B) motor, which is typical (C) but may have limits (D) on energy (E) performance.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Among the highlighted words, "rugged" (A) and "typical" (C) are incorrectly placed.

2. The sentence intends to say that a *typical* ceiling fan uses the time-tested induction motor, which is *rugged* but may have limits on energy performance.

3. Therefore, swapping the words at positions A and C makes the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct.

4. The corrected sentence reads:

"A typical ceiling fan uses the time-tested induction motor, which is rugged but may have limits on energy performance."

**Answer:** (d) A-C
