Question

In the following sentence, three words are in bold. Choose the option that gives the correct sequence of these words to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct:

Nearly four years have **withdrawal** (A) since China’s **decided** (B) from the project before Nepal **passed** (C) to grant the project to India.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence as given is: "Nearly four years have **withdrawal** (A) since China’s **decided** (B) from the project before Nepal **passed** (C) to grant the project to India."

2. The words in bold are incorrectly placed and need rearrangement to make the sentence meaningful and grammatically correct.

3. The correct sequence is **C A B**:
   - Replace **withdrawal** (A) with "withdrawn" to fit the sentence context.
   - The phrase "Nepal **passed** (C) to grant the project" is incorrect; instead, "Nepal passed" should come first as it refers to Nepal's action.
   - "China’s **decided** (B) from the project" is incorrect; it should be "China’s withdrawal" or "China decided to withdraw."

4. Rearranging the words in the order C A B and correcting the form gives:
   "Nearly four years have passed (C) since China’s withdrawal (A) decided (B) from the project before Nepal to grant the project to India."

5. Correcting the verb forms and sentence structure, the intended meaning is:
   "Nearly four years have passed since China’s withdrawal from the project before Nepal decided to grant the project to India."
