In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.'
Central government should immediately get its act together with all state education ministers and make suitable policy.
A. conduct insurrection
B. make conjectures
C. convene a meeting
Let's find the meaning of following words :-
insurrection - a violent uprising against an authority or government.
conjectures - guess; speculation; notion.
convene - come or bring together for a meeting or activity; assemble.
get its act together - excite oneself into organising one's affairs effectively.$
Clearly, A and B are not relevant with the context. Hence, options 1, 2 & 3 are eliminated. Now, it is illogical for government to work depending upon its excitement, since it has to think wisely before doing anything. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 4 i.e. only C is the correct answer.
