Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (B) where the treaty was officially ratified,
वाक्य It was से शुरू होता है और at the summit in Vienna पर ज़ोर देता है, इसलिए यह It-cleft (विदलित वाक्य) है। स्थान ज़ोर वाले भाग में पहले से है, इसलिए जोड़ने वाला शब्द that होगा, where नहीं।
✓
It was at the summit in Vienna that the treaty was officially ratified, thereby bringing to an end decades of political uncertainty in the region.
भाग 3 और 4 ठीक हैं।
सरल अर्थ: वियना के शिखर सम्मेलन में ही संधि की औपचारिक पुष्टि हुई, जिससे क्षेत्र की दशकों पुरानी राजनीतिक अनिश्चितता समाप्त हो गई।
The sentence opens with It was and stresses at the summit in Vienna, so it is an It-cleft. The place is already inside the stressed piece, so the joining word is that, not where.
✓
It was at the summit in Vienna that the treaty was officially ratified, thereby bringing to an end decades of political uncertainty in the region.
Parts 3 and 4 are fine.
