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 replace each other in order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Find the correct combination of the words that replace each other.

The staff (A) hoped to invigorate her principal (B) by giving them (C) spa coupons to use over (D) the weekend. 

Correct option is A

The correct answer is A (A-B).

Explanation:

To find the correct combination, we must examine the logical relationship between the subjects and the pronouns used in the sentence:

1. A-B (staff vs. principal): * In the original sentence, it says "The staff (A) hoped to invigorate her principal (B)."
• However, the next part of the sentence says they gave "them" (C) coupons. The pronoun "them" is plural.
• A "principal" is a single person (singular), while "staff" is a collective noun often treated as plural (the members of the staff).
• Logically, a principal (a leader) would give coupons to the staff (the employees) to "invigorate" (re-energize) them.
• By swapping (A) and (B), the sentence becomes: "The principal (B) hoped to invigorate her staff (A) by giving them (C) spa coupons..." This makes the pronoun "them" correctly refer back to the plural "staff."
2. C & D (them & over): "Them" is the correct object pronoun for the staff.
• "Over" is the correct preposition for a duration of time like "the weekend."

"The principal (B) hoped to invigorate her staff (A) by giving them (C) spa coupons to use over (D) the weekend."
