- (1) and (5)
- (1) and (4)
- (4) and (5)
Correct Option: C
As we can say that ,
Holding and Possessing both gives the same meaning and sense to the sentence. Surrendering is inappropriate. Mastering can not be linked with passports. Fixating is also incorrect for the blank space as it gives no logical sense to the sentence. Examining can grammatically fit into the blank but not in the context of passage and would give a different direction to what is being said in the sentence.
The correct word is filled in the above given sentence :-
A man reportedly possessing /holding two passports with the same photograph, but under different names was arrested by the commissioner’s Task Force.
