Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyze sentence (i).
“He is the most ________ of the speakers to address us today.” The word should mean “distinguished, well-known.” The correct word is Eminent. Step 2: Analyze sentence (ii).
“The belief in ________ justice is the essence of his talk.” Here the sense is of justice being “inherent or indwelling.” The correct word is Immanent. Step 3: Analyze sentence (iii).
“This hall would have been full but for the ________ rain.” Here the meaning is “about to happen, impending.” The correct word is Imminent. Step 4: Analyze sentence (iv).
“Many in the audience have achieved ________ in their respective fields.” Here the word must mean “high status or distinction.” The correct word is Eminence. Thus the sequence is: \[ \text{(i) Eminent,\ (ii) Immanent,\ (iii) Imminent,\ (iv) Eminence} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Option (C)}} \]
