Explanation:

- Let's examine the sentence provided: "Martha came(A) to the occasion(B) that a bunch(C) of flowers is a great gift for any conclusion(D)."

- The word "occasion" typically refers to an event, while "conclusion" refers to the end of something, so it seems there might be a misplacement.

- Option 1, A-D: Swapping "came" and "conclusion" would not make sense.

- Option 2, B-C: Swapping "occasion" and "bunch" would not fit contextually.

- Option 3, D-B: Swapping "conclusion" and "occasion" makes the sentence logical: "Martha came to the conclusion that a bunch of flowers is a great gift for any occasion."

- Option 4, C-A: Swapping "bunch" and "came" would disrupt sentence structure.

- Option 5, No change required: The sentence needed adjustment for logic and clarity.

The correct answer is:

Option 3, D-B
