Explanation: Option A is incorrect because – “protecting to put America first” as per the passage is incorrect. Just “protecting America” could’ve still been acceptable. “looks protecting” in I and “by protecting to return it” also do not fit in. Option B is incorrect because – “looks confirming” in I does not make sense. A situation cannot “look confirming”. Option C is incorrect because – “looks committing” in I does not make sense. A situation cannot “look committing”. ix Option E is incorrect because the word “alluding” means to evade and it conveys the opposite meaning as that intended in . all the sentences. Option 4 fits all the sentences – “promising to put America first” means to make an assurance about putting America first, “looks promising” (indicating potential) and “promising to return it” means to make an assurance.
