In each of the questions given below four words are given in bold. 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 interchange with each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of the words that replace each other. If the sentence is correct as it is then select option (e) as your choice.

The government's boosting (A) on infrastructure development is crucial (B) for attracting (C) foreign investments and focus (D) economic growth.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is C (A – D).

Explanation:

To determine the correct arrangement, we need to look at the grammatical roles and the logical objectives of government policy.

• Position (A) - "The government's boosting (A) on...": While "boosting" is a positive word, the phrase "government's [noun] on" usually requires a focal point. Grammatically, "boosting on" is awkward.
• Position (D) - "...and focus (D) economic growth": This is the key error. "Focus" here is a noun or a base-form verb, but it is paired with "economic growth" as a result of investments. To match the parallel structure of "attracting," we need a gerund (verb+ing). Moving boosting (A) here creates "boosting economic growth," which is a standard and logical phrase.

Correcting the Flow:

1. Focus (D) moves to position (A): "The government's focus on infrastructure development..." This is a common phrase meaning the government is prioritizing roads, bridges, and power.
2. Boosting (A) moves to position (D): "...attracting foreign investments and boosting economic growth." This correctly identifies "boosting" (increasing/strengthening) as the final goal.

The words Crucial (B) and Attracting (C) are already in their correct positions. The focus is crucial (vital), and it helps in attracting (bringing in) money from abroad.
