Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.

This option is the correct choice because "commodities" is a more precise and appropriate term for essential items or goods, especially when discussing overcoming shortages during a natural calamity. It is a suitable replacement that enhances clarity and specificity.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Consignments refer to shipments or deliveries of goods.
  • Material is a broad term that may not sufficiently convey the idea of essential items or goods.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: In case of a natural calamity, the shortage of essential commodities must be overcome in a short time.
