Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1 — Read the sentence carefully:
"Alexander Calder, who was {originally} (A) interested {in} (B) mechanical engineering {later} (C) became {a sculpture} (D)."

Step 2 — Identify the error:
The word in braces (D) is "a sculpture." The sentence is referring to Calder himself, who is a person. The correct word should be "a sculptor" (the person who creates sculptures).

Step 3 — Check the other parts:
- (A) "originally" is correct.
- (B) "in" is correct with "interested."
- (C) "later" is correct in showing the change in career.

Change "a sculpture" to "a sculptor."

Revised sentence:
"Alexander Calder, who was originally interested in mechanical engineering, later became a sculptor."

Final Answer:
The correct option is (D) : D.
