Question

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

"Down a narrow street **attention** (A) the seawall, another fisherman draws **hugging** (B) to his house, whose roof has been tightly **protect** (C) in blue tarpaulin to **wrapped** (D) it from the waves."

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "attention the seawall" (A) is incorrect. The correct phrase should be "attention to the seawall" to indicate focus or direction.

2. The phrase "hugging to his house" (B) is incorrect. The correct phrase is "drawing to his house" or "hugging his house". Since "draws" is used, it should be "draws to his house".

3. The phrase "protect in blue tarpaulin" (C) is incorrect. The correct form is "protected in blue tarpaulin" (past participle) to describe the roof.

4. The phrase "to wrapped it" (D) is incorrect. The correct phrase is "to wrap it" (infinitive form) indicating purpose.

Hence, the correct pairs to be replaced are A-B and C-D.

**Answer:** (a) A-B and C-D
