collected (A)

Properly placed. No change required.

almost (C)

English Meaning: Nearly; not completely
Hindi Meaning: लगभग

Example: The work is almost finished.

Position Analysis (Original):
“…that the almost of obese or overweight children was percentage the same.”
This is grammatically incorrect because “almost” cannot function as a noun before “of.”

After interchange:
“…was almost the same.”
Now “almost” correctly modifies “the same.”

percentage (D)

English Meaning: A rate or proportion expressed as a fraction of 100
Hindi Meaning: प्रतिशत

Example: The percentage of students who passed increased.

Position Analysis (Original):
“…was percentage the same.”
Incorrect because “percentage” is a noun and cannot modify “the same” in this way.

“The percentage of obese or overweight children…”
Correct noun usage followed by “of.”

Why Only (C)-(D) is Correct

Original incorrect structure:
“the almost of obese… was percentage the same”

After interchange:
“the percentage of obese… was almost the same”

Article + noun + of + noun + was + adverb + complement
