Correct option is A
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) religious importance.
Explanation: The word “religiously” is an adverb, but the sentence needs an adjective to modify the noun “importance.”
The correct adjective form is “religious” (not “religiously”).
Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use adjectives before nouns to describe or qualify them (e.g., religious importance, historical event).
· Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, not nouns.
Example:
They visited a place of cultural significance. (Correct)
Not: cultural ly significance (Incorrect)
