    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘bastion’ here means ‘a part of the wall of a castle that sticks out from it in order to protect it.’ It is correct here. Agnosticism- the beliefs of someone who does not know, or believes that it is impossible to know, if a god exists. Ripple- a small wave.                                                          Wobble- shake or move from side to side in a way that shows poor balance.
