EVINCE i) The researcher evinced her hypothesis by conducting a groundbreaking experiment. ii) The child evinced great interest in the museum's exhibits, eagerly asking questions about the artifacts. iii) His actions evinced a lack of remorse, which upset everyone involved.

    B Only ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both i & iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both ii & iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentence i is incorrect as 'Evince' means to show or demonstrate clearly, but here, it implies proving or validating the hypothesis, which is not appropriate. Sentence ii is correct because the child's interest was clearly demonstrated, which aligns with the meaning of evince. Sentence iii is correct as His actions demonstrated or revealed a lack of remorse, aligning with the meaning of evince.
