• A. originally
• B. in
• C. later
• D. sculpture

Answer 1

The correct option is D sculpture

The given sentence talks about a person by the name Alexander Calder. The sentence goes on to describe that he was interested in mechanical engineering and right uses the word 'originally' to indicate his initial interest. 'Interest' is mostly always followed by the preposition 'in' which is used correctly in the sentence. The word 'later' is used correctly as well. So, options A, B and C are incorrect. The fourth word underlined is 'sculpture' which is the art of making two or three dimensional figures or art forms representing something or someone. They are made up of different materials. But, the right word used for referring to a person who makes sculptures is sculptor. Therefore, the incorrect underlined word in the given sentence is option D) sculpture.
