Question

In 2016, rising **(A) violence** in **(B) Pathankot** by Islamic militants **(C) culminated** in attacks on Indian forces at Uri and Kashmir **(D)**.

Identify the correct pair(s) of words that need to be swapped to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If the sentence is already correct, choose option (e).

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence currently implies that Pathankot is located within Kashmir, which is incorrect because Pathankot is a city outside Kashmir.

2. To correct this geographical error, the words at positions (B) "Pathankot" and (D) "Kashmir" need to be swapped.

3. The words at positions (A) "violence" and (C) "culminated" are correctly placed and do not require any change.

4. After swapping, the sentence reads:

"In 2016, rising violence in Kashmir by Islamic militants culminated in attacks on Indian forces at Uri and Pathankot."

**Answer:** (c) Only B-D
