Question

In each of the questions given below, four words are highlighted in bold. These words may or may not be in their correct positions. The sentence is followed by options indicating the correct pairs of words that should be swapped to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If the sentence is already correct, choose 'No correction required'.

Authoritarian regimes, in strength (1), are static regimes where (2) a supreme leader assumes (3) know-it-all power and essence (4).

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "in strength" (1) is awkward and incorrect in this context. It should be replaced with "in essence" (4), which means 'fundamentally' or 'basically'.

2. The word "essence" (4) is incorrectly placed and should be swapped with "in strength" (1).

3. After swapping 1 and 4, the sentence reads: "Authoritarian regimes, in essence, are static regimes where a supreme leader assumes know-it-all power and strength."

4. The rest of the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, so no other swaps are needed.

**Answer:** 1 - 4 only
