Question

    In the question below, a sentence is given with four

    words highlighted in bold, followed by options that provide a replacement for each word. From the options, choose the word that must be replaced with its appropriate replacement. If all the highlighted words are correct and none need to be replaced, or if the incorrect word is not provided with an appropriate replacement, choose option (e), i.e. ‘None of the above’. His ingenuous one-world sentiments are apostatized into truth by the strength of his stellar gifts and a voice that's still sweet and grainy when it needs to be.
    A ingenuous - ingenious Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B sentiments - sensitivities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C apostatized - apotheosized Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D stellar - stallion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence tells us how his ingenuous (unsuspecting) one-world sentiments (beliefs) are elevated to the rank of truths by the strength of his stellar (exceptionally good) gifts and his voice. APOSTATIZED means renounced a religious belief, which is inapt here, and must be replaced with APOTHEOSIZED, which means elevated to a higher rank. Therefore, (c) is the right answer.
