Solution
The correct option is D Given The correct idiomatic phrase is required here to complete the sentence. From the options, 'fallen' when placed in the sentence does not provide any relevant meaning; 'been fallen to' isn't grammatically correct as you cannot 'be fallen'. Similarly, 'been run to' has no relevant meaning, you cannot be run to something, you can run towards something. Phrases like 'been fallen to', 'been run to' are not idiomatic, hence options A and B are incorrect. 'Taken to' is a verb phrase usually followed by the noun 'task'; it means 'to be scolded'. It cannot be used here as 'been taken to impossible dreams' does not have a coherent meaning, if you take the literal meaning: been taken to means that someone has taken you to some place. You cannot be literally taken to your dreams, which is an abstract noun. Hence option C is incorrect. The phrase 'been given to' is idiomatic, it means 'inclined to do something'; it fits the sentence in meaning: Aditya has always been inclined towards impossible dreams. Hence option D is correct.
