In the sentence, certain words are in bold and numbered from A to E, which are the possible pairs to be interchanged. Choose the pair of words that needs to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. The measure has (A) drawn on the long-standing anxieties about the (B) interference of politico-bureaucratic (C) perils in the internal functioning of universities, and concerns about the (D) substantial burden on universities which have to regulate admissions, set (E) curricula and conduct examinations for a large number of undergraduate colleges. Correct Answer B-C The correct answer is option 4) B-C Let us look at the sentence in the following way: The measure has (A) _____ on the long-standing anxieties about the (B)_______ of politico-bureaucratic (C)_____ in the internal functioning of universities, and concerns about the (D) ________burden on universities which have to regulate admissions, set (E)_____and conduct examinations for a large number of undergraduate colleges. Meanings of the words given in bold are: Drawn together with the preposition 'on' means to cause to appear or occur. Interference means the action of interfering (to enter into or take part in the concerns of others) or the process of being interfered with. Perils means serious and immediate danger Substantial means of considerate importance, size, or worth Curricula means the subjects comprising a course of study in a school or college. ​We can see that A, D and E have been used appropriately. In the blank for B, 'perils' does not make any sense, the phrase 'in the internal functioning of universities' will take the word 'interference' before it. Therefore, we need to interchange B and C to make the sentence correct.
