A sentence is given in which certain words are highlighted. Choose the option with the pair(s) of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If no change is required, mark 'No change required' as your answer.
Gentrification is reshaping urban areas(A) all around the world, displacing large segments(B) of the unaffordable(C) and making cities increasingly population(D).
1.D-C
2.C-D and A-B
3.C-B
4.B-D and A-C
5.No change required
Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
C - The construction 'of the' will always be followed by a noun or an adjective qualifying a noun, which isn't the case here. 'Population' would be suitable here, while in place of D, the adjective 'unaffordable' would be appropriate, which would be qualified by the adverb 'increasingly'. Hence, (a) is the right answer.
