Concept:Identify subject-verb agreement and correct placement of nouns, adjectives, and adverbs.
Explanation:The original sentence has errors: "Academics doesn't" (subject-verb mismatch) and "the government that have" (should be "has").
Meanings:
• (A) Academics: teachers/scholars (plural noun)
• (B) Seriously: adverb, meaning "in a serious manner"
• (C) Government: ruling body (singular noun)
• (D) Competitive: adjective, meaning "relating to competition"
Step 1: Replace (A) with "Government" – gives singular subject "Government doesn't take".
Step 2: Keep (B) "seriously" in its place – correct adverb after "take".
Step 3: Place (C) "Academics" – becomes "it is the academics that have" (plural verb "have" matches plural noun).
Step 4: Keep (D) "competitive" – correctly modifies "digital world".
Thus the correct order is: (C) Government, (B) seriously, (A) academics, (D) competitive → CBAD.
Option A (CBAD) is correct.
Answer:A. CBAD
