Detailed Solution

I or II cannot be changed to make the statement accurate, and neither can the italicized terms. This is due to the fact that both of the italicized words are improper in the context of the phrases, according to the explanations of the sentences (options 1 and 2), and the sentences cannot be rendered correctly by simply swapping the terms.
