Directions : In the following question, two separate sentences with a few…

Concept: A para-jumble / word-rearrangement item asks you to place a given set of words into marked slots so that BOTH sentences become grammatically correct and meaningful. The governing principle is fit on three axes at once — part of speech (the word must match the grammatical role the slot needs), tense/voice agreement (especially after auxiliaries like “have been” and “have been made to”), and meaning (the resulting clause must make real-world sense). The correct arrangement is the one that satisfies all three in both sentences, and each given word is used exactly once.

Application — the words to place at slots A–F are: attempts (A), revealed (B), world (C), replenish (D), throughout (E), swamped (F).

Work from the more constrained sentence first. Sentence (B) — “Hospitals have been ___ for nearly a year, and no ___ have been made to ___ medical oxygen supplies.” — fixes three slots by grammar alone:

1. After the passive “have been”, the slot needs a past participle describing an overwhelmed state → swamped (F): “Hospitals have been swamped for nearly a year.”

2. “no ___ have been made” needs a plural noun as its subject → attempts (A): “no attempts have been made”.

3. After the infinitive marker “to”, the slot needs a base-form verb meaning to refill → replenish (D): “to replenish medical oxygen supplies.”

Sentence (A) — “The first wave of the pandemic ___ … revealed/exposed the vulnerabilities in the global healthcare system.” — supplies the remaining words. A pandemic does not “attempt” the world; it spreads across the world and then exposes problems, so the subject takes a past-tense main verb of exposing (revealed, B) preceded by an adverbial of extent (throughout, E + world, C): “The first wave of the pandemic, throughout the world, revealed the vulnerabilities in the global healthcare system.”

Note on the source: slot C is printed inside “the global (C) healthcare system”, which can make the printed sentence A read awkwardly; the test point, however, is decided by Sentence B, where only one arrangement keeps every word in a grammatical role. Reading the six slots in order A-B-C-D-E-F, the words come from E, B, C, F, A, D respectively — the sequence EBCFAD.

Cross-check: in the chosen arrangement each given word is used exactly once and every slot holds the part of speech its surrounding grammar requires; no other arrangement keeps Sentence B grammatical, so the answer is determined uniquely.
