Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The words, ‘relegating’ and ‘delegating’ mean the same which is to assign responsibility. However, it is aptly clear that the context in which the missing word has been used does not warrant the use of either A or E as the correct answer. Out of the remaining options, ‘shunting’ and ‘diverting’ are the closest in meaning and therefore, B and D are the correct answers.
