    Solution

    A: All three words are verbs and at A, a verb is suitable. But when we look at their meanings, E is not suitable at A at all. D is perfect and F may be suitable. B: Here, all three verbs are inappropriate. C: Here, only E is suitable because the past form of the verb should be used. The word ‘enunciate’ means ‘to express and explain a plan or principle clearly or formally’. So, option 2 is correct.
