Correct Answer Word for word
The correct answer is option 2.
There is an error in the underlined part of the sentence and it should be replaced with 'word for word'.
‘Word for word’ is the correct phrase used in the sense of repeating or copying it exactly as it was originally said or written. Also ‘words for words’ is wrong as repeated nouns before and after the preposition are used in singular form.
