From the options, choose the number of highlighted in bold which are contextually or grammatically inappropriate.Solution

CONJUGATED means to be combined with, and will be inapt here. CONJURED means made up or thought of, which will be more apt here. MANIFEST means clear or evident, RECREATIONS means the process of creating something again, BESTIAL means animal-like, all of which are contextually appropriate here. Since only 1 word is inappropriate, (b) is the right answer.
