Key Points

  • The word ‘later’ means ‘at a time in the near future’ and is unsuitable in this sentence. The correct word to be used here is ‘latter’ which means ‘denoting the second or second mentioned of two people or things.’
  • Hence ‘latter’ should be used in place of ‘later’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
  • Among the given choices, only option 2 replaces the given underlined part most appropriately.
  • Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Correct sentence: Although both the United States and China are formidable world powers, India should side with the latter.

Additional Information
 
  • Along(preposition): moving in a constant direction on (a road, path, or any more or less horizontal surface).
    • Ex: "soon we were driving along a narrow road"
  • There is no such word as 'side along'.
  • Side with: to agree with or support the opinions or actions of (someone).
  • Here, in the sentence, India needs to support someone's opinion, Hence, Side with should be used here.
