Question 37: Sociological studies reveal how mobility (A) barriers can perpetuate socioeconomic…
In the following question, a sentence is given with certain words marked as (A), (B), (C), and (D). Choose the option with the pair(s) of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. If no change is required, mark 'No change required' as your answer.
Sociological studies reveal how mobility (A) barriers can perpetuate socioeconomic communities (B), significantly limiting opportunities for upward systemic (C) growth within marginalized disparity (D).
Answer Options:
- A. Only A-C
- B. Both A-C and B-D ✓
- C. Only B-D
- D. Both A-B and C-D
- E. No change required
Correct! The pairs (A-C) and (B-D) need to be interchanged. "Mobility" should pair with "systemic" to form "systemic mobility barriers," and "communities" should pair with "disparity" to form "disparity within marginalized communities." After interchange: "…how systemic (A) mobility barriers can perpetuate disparity (B) within marginalized communities (C), significantly limiting opportunities for upward growth (D)." Wait — careful: after interchanging A↔C and B↔D, the corrected sentence reads: "…how systemic (A) barriers can perpetuate disparity (B), significantly limiting opportunities for upward mobility (C) growth within marginalized communities (D)" — Actually the intended logical correction is: "systemic mobility barriers" and "disparity within marginalized communities." Example: "Economic (A) policies affect social (B) classes and create wealth (C) gaps among rural (D) areas." → Interchange A-C and B-D to get "Wealth (A) policies affect rural (B) classes and create economic (C) gaps among social (D) areas" for logical fit.
