    A AAB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ABA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ABB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D AAA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E BBB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1.       (d) 1- We need to replace WALK with WALKED as the present perfect tense construction HAVE + VERB always takes the past participle form of the verb. 2- We need to replace ABOMINABLE (very bad; terrible) with ADMIRABLE (arousing or deserving respect and approval.). The sentence begins with the conjunction ALTHOUGH which is used to link contrasting ideas. MISGUIDED has a negative connotation, thus the adjective modifying the noun PASSION should have a positive connotation. 3- We need to replace SACRED (religious rather than secular) with SCARED (fearful; frightened). The sentence talks about the feelings of children. Since AAA is the correct combination, (d) is the right answer.
