Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: First pair — ``street A) paintings B) canvasses"
The correct term is ``street canvasses" because in street art context, walls act as canvases for artwork. The word “paintings” refers to the artwork itself, but the sentence is referring to the surface being painted on. Therefore: B.
Step 2: Second pair — ``artists have A) earmarked B) earmark"
The correct usage here is past perfect — "have earmarked" — because it talks about an action completed before another event. So: A.
Step 3: Third pair — ``after civic authority A) compliance, B) grant"
Here, ``after civic authority compliance" makes logical and grammatical sense, meaning after complying with civic authority requirements. “Grant” would mean permission or funding but doesn’t fit the context. So: A.
Step 4: Fourth pair — ``A) instalment B) installations"
The correct word is "installations" because we are talking about artistic displays for public interaction, not financial instalments. So: B.
Step 5: Fifth pair — ``is A) instituted B) envisaged"
``Envisaged" means planned or visualised, which fits because the installations are being planned for public interaction. “Instituted” means established formally, but the sentence is about a proposal. So: B.
Step 6: Final sequence
From the above reasoning, the sequence is: B (canvasses) – A (earmarked) – A (compliance) – B (installations) – B (envisaged). This matches option (3) BAABB. \[ \boxed{\text{BAABB}} \]
