E.

No replacement required

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: B (A-B)

Explanation:

Original Sentence: Not getting regularly (A) quality sleep enough (B) raises the risk (C) of many diseases and disorders (D).

We need to check if the highlighted words are in their logically and grammatically correct positions.

Analysis:

  1. Positions (A) and (B):
    • The phrase "regularly quality sleep enough" is awkward. In English, the adjective enough typically follows the noun it modifies or follows another adjective. However, the most natural structure here is "enough quality sleep."
    • Regularly is an adverb. It should describe how one gets sleep. Placing it after "enough" makes the sentence flow better: "Not getting enough (B) quality sleep regularly (A)..."
    • Alternatively, "Not getting regularly (A)" sounds like the action of getting is what is regular, but "quality sleep enough" remains incorrect. By swapping them, we get: "Not getting enough quality sleep regularly..." (Meaning: You aren't getting a sufficient amount of good sleep on a consistent basis).
  2. Positions (C) and (D):
    • "Raises the risk (C) of many diseases and disorders (D)."
    • This is perfectly correct. "Risk" is the noun identifying the chance of something happening, and "diseases and disorders" are the medical conditions being risked. No swap is needed here.

Corrected Sentence:

Not getting enough (B) quality sleep regularly (A) raises the risk (C) of many diseases and disorders (D).

Conclusion:

The words at positions A and B need to be swapped to make the sentence grammatically and contextually sound.

Final Answer: B
