Question

Fill in the blank [22] in the given paragraph with articles and determiners choosing from the options given.

• A. Their
• B. His
• C. This
• D. That

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

His

Option B 'his' is the correct answer as it successfully shows the association between Ashoka and the invasion of Kalinga as mentioned in the passage.

Since we are specifically referring to just Ashoka's battle, use of 'their' would be grammatically incorrect. Hence option A is incorrect.

'This' and 'that' are used preceding nouns that have already been mentioned or understood. It would be grammatically incorrect if either of them is used in the specified blank. Hence options C and D are incorrect.
