Choose sentences where the underlined word has been used correctly:

A. As the temperatures soared, the water level reseeded drastically creating a shortage of potable water.

B. The contingent receded on receiving the orders from the commanding officer.

C. She is confidant of topping the exam.

D. The coach's motivational words made the players feel confident.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

In A, 'reseeded' (planted again) is wrong; the water level 'receded' (went down). In B, 'receded' (moved back) is used correctly for the contingent withdrawing. In C, 'confidant' (a trusted person) is wrong; the adjective 'confident' is needed. In D, 'confident' is used correctly. Hence B and D only.
