Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
If we wish to _______ a democratic country, we must __________ to our constitution.

Correct option is B

✔️ The correct option is (b) remain, adhere.
· Explanation:
· “Remain a democratic country” implies maintaining the identity.
· “Adhere to the constitution” means following it sincerely.
· Grammatical rule used:
· Verb + infinitive (adhere to): used with modal verbs like "must".
· Hindi Explanation: "Remain" का अर्थ है बने रहना; "adhere to" का अर्थ है पालन करना। दोनों क्रियाएं अर्थ और व्याकरण में उपयुक्त हैं।
· Meanings of all the other options:
· (a) govern, fasten – “Fasten” means to tie; contextually irrelevant.
· (c) continue, hold – “Hold” lacks correct verb-object fit.
· (d) uphold, lead – “Lead to constitution” is incorrect phrase structure.
