Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Correct sentence: Sunday's operation also established the willingness and ability of the police to strike at the Maoists in their most remote and safest havens.

  • Step 1: Identify the main clause and its object. "Sunday's operation also established" is the main clause; the immediate object is "the willingness and ability of the police."

  • Step 2: Attach the infinitive that explains what was established. The phrase "to strike at the Maoists" completes the idea of what the police are willing and able to do, so it follows the object.

  • Step 3: Place the location modifier after the action it modifies. "in their most remote and safest havens" modifies where they can strike, so it comes after the infinitive.

  • Final ordering of the given parts (by their content) to form the sentence: "Sunday's operation also established" → "the willingness and ability of the police" → "to strike at the Maoists" → "in their most" → "remote and safest havens."
