Direction: Each of the following sentences is followed by four words or group of words. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or group of words.

  1. The teacher_____the boy’s comic which he was reading during the Mathematics period.
    1. possessed
    2. procured
    3. abandoned
    4. seized
Correct Option: D

As we can say that ,
The “comic’: (comics book) changes hands - it goes from the boy to the teacher. Only (b), (c) and (d) give this sense of change of hands. Of these, seized is the most appropriate. If someone in authority (here “the teacher”) seizes your property (here “the boy’s comic”), they take it from you, often by force. Of course, no boy would willingly part with his “comic”
The correct word is filled in the above given sentence :-
The teacher seized the boy’s comic which he was reading during the Mathematics period.
So , option D is correct word .
