In each question, 3 words are highlighted in bold. 3 possible replacements A, B and C for the words are given. Select which of the replacements can be used. If the given sentence is grammatically correct, choose the option no improvement required:
The archaeologists were confounded by the beauty of the city they just invented. They relished each and every moment of their stay in the ancient city.
A : astounded, invented, relinquished
B: astounded, discovered, relished
C: awed, discovered, rejoiced
Solution
The usage of ‘invented’ is incorrect. ‘Discovered’ must have been used instead. Also, ‘relished’ and ‘rejoiced’ can be used interchangeably. Only, the set of words given by B and C can be used and hence, option B is the right answer.
