In each of the questions given below four words are given in bold. These four words may or may not be in their correct position. The sentence is then followed by options with the correct combination of words that should replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of the words that replace each other. If the sentence is correct as it is then select option ‘No correction required’ as your choice.

With parts of the pipes (1) being covered after laying of the canal (2) and construction material and debris strewn (3) along the banks, encroachers (4) are taking over the canal.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "after laying of the canal" (2) is incorrect because the canal is laid first, and then pipes are laid. The correct phrase should be "after laying of the pipes" (1).

2. The phrase "parts of the pipes" (1) should be replaced with "parts of the canal" (2) because the pipes are part of the canal system, and the sentence contextually refers to the canal being covered.

3. The other words "strewn" (3) and "encroachers" (4) are correctly placed.

4. Therefore, swapping words (1) and (2) corrects the sentence:

"With parts of the canal being covered after laying of the pipes and construction material and debris strewn along the banks, encroachers are taking over the canal."
