- To the ordinary man, in fact, the pealing of bells
- is a monotonous jangle and a nuisance
- tolerably only when mitigated by remote distance and sentimental association.
- No error.
Correct Option: C
tolerable will replace tolerably because –
an Adj. qualifies a Noun and tolerable is an Adj. and tolerably is an Adv.
peal (Noun) : a loud sound or series of sounds
monotonous (Adj.) : never changing and therefore boring
jangle (Noun) : a hard noise like that of a metal hitting metal.
mitigated (Verb) : to make something less harmful, serious, etc.
Hence, tolerable only when mitigated by remote distance and sentimental association is the right usage.
