Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
These flowers also ________ Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life.

• A. symbol
• B. symbolise
• C. symbolisation
• D. significant

Answer 1

The correct option is B symbolise

The given passage states: 'The flowers have been viewed as symbols of Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life'. The blank in the given sentence has to be filled by the verb form of the noun, 'symbols', which is 'symbolise'. Hence, option B is correct.

The words, 'symbol' and 'symbolisation' are nouns. The word, 'significant' is an adjective. As these are not verb forms of the noun, 'symbols', options A, C and D are incorrect.
