Correct Answer: BADCE
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

Let's consider A, B, C, D and, Eto be five blanks, with A being the first, $B$ the second, and so on.

The first bank is preceded by a number, and hence noun used after it should be plural; that is why plant is wrong here. and the use of preposition "Of" is used here to make a choice among something, and hence, stranded fits the blank as of the sixteen stranded

The second blank should be filled with the word plant because NTPC is the name of a national power plant.
The third blank is preceded by a helping verb were, and it is a passive construction and hence should follow past participle form of the verb which is here rescued only.
The fourth blank can only be filled with trench as it can be dug.
The fifth blank is left with option evening, which is correctly placed already as on Sunday evening.

Hence, the correct sentence is:

Of the sixteen stranded in a tunnel in the NTPC plant, two were rescued through a specially dug trench on Sunday evening.
