    They involved the SC verdict in a diary case to point

    out that investigation against a person can be ordered only when there is prima facie evidence against the person and not on the base of diary entry or allegation. (A) invoked, emphasise, basis (B) necessitated, ignore, foundation (C) argued, exhilarate, bias
    A Both A and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both B and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No Improvement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The words ‘involved’, ‘argued’ and ‘necessitated’ cannot be used at the first space, whereas, ‘invoked’ is correct, as it means ‘cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument’. The word ‘point out’ and ‘emphasise’ is correct, but ‘ignore’ would make the statement contradictory and ‘exhilarate’ is inappropriate. As for the last word, ‘basis’ or ‘foundation’ is correct.
