    E All of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentence i is correct because 'Munificent' means very generous or liberal in giving. The philanthropist's donation being described as munificent is appropriate. Sentence ii: The sentence "Her munificent attitude toward criticism made her a beloved leader among her peers" is incorrect because the word 'munificent' refers to being exceptionally generous , particularly in terms of giving resources, gifts, or help. It does not apply to attitudes or reactions, such as handling criticism. Sentence iii is correct as the reward being described as munificent suggests it was substantial and generous, which is appropriate.
