Question

In each of the questions given below a sentence is given with three words in bold. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of these words to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

The commander’s **pivotal** (A) to launch the **offensive** (B) at dawn cost the army a **reluctance** (C) strategic advantage in the battle.

Choose the correct sequence of the words (A, B, C) to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The word **"pivotal" (A)** should describe the **"strategic advantage"**, indicating something crucial or key, so it must come before "strategic advantage".

2. The word **"reluctance" (C)** fits correctly with the phrase **"to launch"**, implying hesitation or unwillingness to start the offensive.

3. The word **"offensive" (B)** is correctly placed as the object of the phrase "to launch the offensive".

Rearranging the words in the order **CBA** gives the sentence:

"The commander’s **reluctance** to launch the **offensive** at dawn cost the army a **pivotal** strategic advantage in the battle."

This sentence is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.

**Answer:** CBA
