Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

  1. have undermined the government’s position also.
  2. undermined the government’s position also.
  3. have undermined the government’s position.
  4. have also undermined the government’s position.
Explanation
Answer: D - The best choice is “have also undermined the government’s position.”

In the original sentence, “also” is not in the proper position. Since “also” indicates that there are other ways the government’s position has been undermined, the best position for the adverb is before the verb it modifies.
