Explanation

Corrected sentence: The monarch decided (A) to abdicate (B) his throne, choosing a quieter (C) life of service, while (D) his successor (E) prepared for immense (F) responsibility. Step-by-step check: (A) while to abdicate → incorrect. It should be decided to abdicate. (B) to abdicate his throne → this is correct, but misplaced. (C) a immense life → incorrect because article a cannot be followed by immense. It should be a quieter life. (D) decided → this should go with to abdicate. (E) his successor → fine. (F) prepared for quieter responsibility → makes sense, but immense responsibility fits better. So corrections: • Swap A (while) with D (decided) → The monarch decided to abdicate… • Swap C (immense) with F (quieter) → choosing a quieter life of service… prepared for immense responsibility. Correct swaps: A-D & C-F Answer: (c) A-D & C-F
