Question
A sentence is given in which certain words are
highlighted. Choose the option with the pair/s of words that need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. If no change is required, mark E as your response. Elena Cornaro Piscopia's viva examination for her Ph.D. in 1678 moved (A) so much interest that the ceremony(B) had to be attracted (C) from the university to Padua Cathedral to accommodate an audience(D) that included professors, students, senators, and invited guests from Universities all over(E) Italy.Solution
Clearly, 'attracted' is not suitable at (C); 'moved' is the right verb to be used here. 'Attracted' can be used at (A), with 'interest', to show that many people were interested in the said examination. Thus, word at (A) & (C) can be interchanged to make the sentence correct. Option C is the right answer.
