Directions: In this question, a part of the sentence is made bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no replacement is needed, mark (E) as your answer.

Khurshid said that a heckler’s freedom of speech and expression would have to be consistent for the right to movement and privacy of the recipient.

have to be inconsistent for the

have to be inconsistent with the

have to be in consistency for the

have to be consistent with the

No correction required

Explanation:

The original sentence is erroneous.

Reason: The word ‘consistent’ must be followed the preposition ‘with’ instead of ‘for’ in this context. The expression ‘consistent with’ means ‘match with’.

Hence ‘with’ should be used in place of ‘for’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Among the given choices, only option D replaces the given bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Khurshid said that a heckler’s freedom of speech and expression would have to be consistent with the right to movement and privacy of the recipient.

Option D is hence the correct answer.
