E.

No replacement needed

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: D — Only (B)-(D)

After interchanging approval (B) and yearns (D):

Correct sentence:

Despite his great commercial success, he still yearns for critical approval.

Only approval (B) and yearns (D) are interchanged. No other words are changed.

Meaning of Highlighted Words (English + Hindi + Example)

commercial (A)

English Meaning: Related to business or profit
Hindi Meaning:
व्यावसायिक

Example: The movie achieved huge commercial success.

Position Analysis:
“Commercial success” is a correct and natural collocation. It means success in business or financial terms.
This word is correctly placed and does not require change.

approval (B)

English Meaning: Agreement, acceptance, or favorable opinion
Hindi Meaning:
स्वीकृति, अनुमोदन

Example: The proposal received public approval.

Position Analysis (Original):
“He still approval for critical yearns.”
Here, “approval” is incorrectly placed because a verb is needed after “still.”
After interchange: “yearns for critical approval” — correct noun usage.

critical (C)

English Meaning: Involving judgment or evaluation; expressing analysis
Hindi Meaning:
समीक्षात्मक, आलोचनात्मक

Example: The book received critical acclaim.

Position Analysis:
“Critical approval” is a correct phrase meaning approval from critics.
This word is correctly placed before “approval” and does not need interchange.

yearns (D)

English Meaning: Strongly desires or longs for
Hindi Meaning:
लालायित होना, तरसना

Example: She yearns for recognition.

Position Analysis (Original):
“He still approval…” — incorrect because “approval” is a noun, but the sentence needs a verb.
After interchange: “He still yearns for critical approval.”
Now “yearns” correctly functions as the verb.

Why Only (B)-(D) is Correct

Original incorrect structure:
“He still approval…” — missing verb

After interchange:
“He still yearns for critical approval.”

Correct structure:
Subject + adverb + verb + preposition + adjective + noun

No other words require replacement.

Final Answer:

Option D — Only (B)-(D)
