Question : The heads of two different departments at "Yamuna Ltd." are Aman and Ganga. They are effective managers who can inspire the staff in their particular departments to achieve better. The connection between the departments that Aman and Ganga are in charge of has been hampered by their desire to flourish in their individual fields rather than placing priority on the company's goals. There are frequently issues between departments, and they are now incompatible. This has shown to be detrimental to achieving organisational goals. The CEO of "Yamuna Ltd." has recruited Rahim as a consultant to help fix the situation because it has gotten so bad. After carefully examining the scenario, Rahim concluded that both Aman and Ganga's rigidity and limited viewpoint were to blame for the issue's emergence. She believes that the organisational structure that "Yamuna Ltd." has chosen is what has led to this issue. Determine the organisational structure that "Yamuna Ltd." has chosen based on the information given.

Option 4: No Error

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: I hope India's condition


Solution : There is an error in the option 1.

Instead of using "hope" we need to use " fear"

because "hope" is a word associated with pleasant things. While fear is a reaction to frightening or disturbing situations.

Hence the correct sentence is

I fear the India's condition  may go from bad to worse unless all necessary steps are taken to counter terrorism.
