    Question

    Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option ‘no correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.
    Incineration has been used for decades (as the magic-bullet solution to disposing otherwise) persistent waste materials.

    A.

    No correction required

    B.

    as the magic-bullet solution of disposing otherwise

    C.

    as the magic-bullet solution to disposing of otherwise

    D.

    as the magic-bullet solution to disposing off otherwise

    Correct option is C


    The correct answer is option (c).

    Explanation:

    • The structure solution to is correct because the standard collocation is “a solution to a problem.”
    • The verb dispose is used with the preposition of. Hence, the correct phrase is disposing of, not disposing alone.
    • Option (c) correctly forms the expression: solution to disposing of otherwise persistent waste materials, meaning waste that would otherwise remain persistent/difficult to manage.

    Correct sentence (with replacement):

    Incineration has been used for decades as the magic-bullet solution to disposing of otherwise persistent waste materials.

    Why other options are incorrect:

    • (a) No correction required is wrong because disposing requires of after it.
    • (b) Uses solution of, which is not the correct collocation here; also breaks the required prepositional structure.
    • (d) disposing off is incorrect; off is not used with dispose in this meaning.

    Grammatical rule (English):

    Dispose of + noun; and “solution to” is the correct prepositional pattern.

    व्याकरण नियम (Hindi):

    Dispose के साथ of का प्रयोग होता है (dispose of). “Solution” के साथ सामान्यतः to आता है (solution to).

    So the correct answer is (c)
