Question

In each of the questions given below, a sentence is given with four words highlighted. 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.

A.

A-D

B.

A-B & C-D

C.

C-B

D.

A-C & B-D

E.

No interchange required

Correct option is B

The correct answer is B (A-B & C-D).

Explanation:

To find the correct combination, we must examine the logical and grammatical fit of the highlighted words:

  1. A-B (tried vs. styled): In position (A), "many women have styled to get..." is grammatically awkward. It should be "tried to get," indicating their effort. In position (B), hair is not "tried"; it is "styled" (shaped or arranged).
  2. C-D (blonde vs. coiffure): Position (C) describes the hair. While "blonde" is a hair color, it is being used as a noun here ("in a blonde identical to..."). A "coiffure" is a person's hairstyle. Therefore, hair is styled in a "coiffure." Position (D) describes the actress; she is a "blonde actress" (using the word as an adjective to describe her appearance).

Arrangement:

"Over the years, many women have tried (B) to get their hair styled (A) in a coiffure (D) identical to that worn by the legendary blonde (C) actress."

Meanings of all words:

Tried (B)

  • Meaning: Attempted to do something; made an effort.
  • Hindi Meaning: कोशिश की
  • Example: "She tried to solve the puzzle for hours before giving up."

Styled (A)

  • Meaning: Arranged or designed in a particular way (especially hair or clothes).
  • Hindi Meaning: संवारा हुआ / डिज़ाइन किया गया
  • Example: "He had his hair styled specifically for the wedding ceremony."

Coiffure (D)

  • Meaning: An elaborate way of arranging or styling a person's hair.
  • Hindi Meaning: केश-विन्यास / बालों की बनावट
  • Example: "The bride’s elegant coiffure was adorned with small white flowers."

Blonde (C)

  • Meaning: (Of a person) having pale-colored or golden hair.
  • Hindi Meaning: सुनहरे बालों वाली
  • Example: "The blonde lead actress became a fashion icon in the 1950s."

Final Answer: B
