Question

In each sentence, four words are highlighted, which may or may not be correctly placed. Choose the correct replacement within the highlighted words so that the sentence thus formed will be grammatically and logically correct.

The US is a particularly vociferous (A) opponent, and is sanctions (B) threatening (C) against European companies involved (D) in the project.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence currently reads: "The US is a particularly vociferous (A) opponent, and is sanctions (B) threatening (C) against European companies involved (D) in the project."

2. The phrase "is sanctions threatening" (B and C) is incorrect. The correct phrase should be "is threatening sanctions" to convey that the US is threatening sanctions.

3. Therefore, the words at positions (C) and (B) need to be swapped.

4. After swapping, the sentence becomes: "The US is a particularly vociferous opponent, and is threatening sanctions against European companies involved in the project."

5. This sentence is grammatically and logically correct.

**Answer:** Only (C)-(B)
