In the below passage, there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Find out the appropriate option in each case to replace the given numbers.

Comprehension:
"Although Babur and Humayun, __(i)__the Delhi Sultanate that ruled previously, had considered Delhi to be their capital, Akbar had shifted it to Agra. Forts, palaces and mausoleums of peerless grandeur came up in just a few years. Jahangir and in the early part of his reign, Shahjahan, continued to __(ii)__ Akbarabad. But now, the Emperor wanted to build a fine new city for his __{iii)__, which would bear his name and outstretch the creation of his grandfather, in both splendour and scale".

Question 48

Pick the appropriate replacement for (ii)

Solution

The passage states that after Akbar made Agra (Akbarabad) the capital, his successors Jahangir and Shahjahan "continued to (ii) Akbarabad." The phrase "continued to" implies they maintained a certain relationship with the city. "Look upon" can mean to regard or consider in a specified way, and in this context, it fits the idea that they continued to use and regard Akbarabad as their capital, which aligns with the historical fact and the passage's narrative before Shahjahan decided to build his new city.

The other options ("look down" - despise, "look for" - search, "look in" - visit briefly) do not logically fit the context of maintaining a capital city.
