• E. neither I nor II is correct, and the sentence could not be made correct by interchanging the italicized words

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

only sentence I is correct

The correct answer is Option A.

OPPOSITE means contrary.

In sentence 1, his views are contrary to mine.

Thus sentence 1 is correct.

In sentence 2, the correct word should be APPOSITE which means suitable.

Thus the sentence is incorrect.
