In each of the questions given below a sentence is given with three words in bold. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of these words to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

The peace talks were hindered by (A) conflicting (B) claims (C) territorial made by both nations at the summit.

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (a) ACB
Explanation:
· The noun being modified is “claims.”
· “Conflicting” (A) describes the nature of the claims — that they oppose one another.
· “Territorial” (C) defines the type of claims — related to land/borders.
· In English, adjectives indicating opinion or general nature precede those indicating type, category, or origin.
· Hence, “conflicting territorial claims” is the natural and correct expression used in political and diplomatic discussions.
· This order is frequently used in news articles covering boundary disputes and international conflicts.
· Final structure: conflicting (A) → territorial (C) → claims (B)
· ✅ Correct sequence: ACB
