Meaning of Highlighted Words (English + Hindi + Example)
extracted (A)
English Meaning: Removed or taken out
Hindi Meaning: निकाला गया, निष्कर्षित
Example: Oil is extracted from seeds.
Position Analysis (Original):
“The extracted of ethanol…”

After interchange:
“ethanol, extracted from sugarcane…”
Correct past participle phrase modifying “ethanol.”
use (B)
English Meaning: The act of employing something
Hindi Meaning: उपयोग
Example: The use of technology has increased.
Position Analysis (Original):
“…use from sugarcane…”
Incorrect because “use” cannot logically be followed by “from sugarcane” in this structure.
After interchange:
“The use of ethanol…”
Correct noun phrase structure: noun + of + noun.
third (C)
English Meaning: Coming after the second in order
Hindi Meaning: तीसरा
Example: She secured the third position.
Position Analysis (Original):
“…third rice…”
Incorrect because “third rice” has no meaning.

Correct compound adjective structure.
broken (D)
English Meaning: Damaged or fragmented

Position Analysis (Original):
“…world's broken-largest oil consumer.”

Correct agricultural term referring to fragmented rice grains.
