D |
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → C only
(A) Rejected by — Correct.
- A past participle with "by" names the one who rejected him.
- The phrase tells what had happened to him before his decision.
(B) society, — Correct.
- As a general idea, society takes no article, and the comma closes the opening phrase.
(C) he decide — Incorrect.
- A singular subject cannot take the base form, and the event is narrated in the past, so "decide" should be "decided": "he decided".
Example: Tired after the long walk, she decided to rest under a tree. - Correct form: Rejected by society, he decided to become a monk.
(D) to become a monk. — Correct.
- The to-infinitive correctly follows "decided".
