In the following question, a sentence is given with a
highlighted phrase, and it is followed by three options (I), (II), and (III) which can replace the emboldened phrase to make it grammatically and meaningfully correct. Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct phrase to be used in the sentence.

Of ameliorating ii. In alleviating iii. Of intensifyingSolution
(c) The sentence talks about Parkinson's patients undergoing surgery with certain hope. Now we must understand that undergoing the surgery must relieve them of tremors and other symptoms associated with the disease. The emboldened phrase and iii), on the other hand, give out an absolutely opposite meaning to the one that is intended. ii) uses incorrect preposition 'in' which renders the sentence meaningless. Having a hope 'of' something and having a hope 'in' something are two different things. i) is grammatically correct and bring out a meaningfully correct sentence. Hence, c) is the correct answer.
