Words C and D have been interchanged.
(C) :- here ‘threatened’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘threatened’ is ‘scared, intimidated’. Since the landlord scared the tenant, ‘threatened’ is the suitable word.
(D) :- here ‘evict’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘evict’ is ‘expel, dislodge’. ‘evict me from premises’ forms a meaningful phrase as the landlord has threatened the tenant to throw out of the house.
Other words are placed correctly.
Correct sentence – ‘However, all of a sudden, my landlord demanded an increase in payment of rent by almost 30 per cent, and threatened to disconnect power and water supply and evict me from the premises if I did not agree to the revision.’
