A Gujarati didactic stanza likewise blemished my mind and heart.
A. bewitched
B. beguiled
C. had a sedentary on
Correct option - 3
Let's find the meanings of following words :-
Didactic - intended to teach, particularly in having moral instruction as a hidden motive.
Blemish - to destroy the perfection of someone or something; a defect or flaw.
Bewitch - to charm or captivate; grip; beguile.
Sedentary - An activity that requires a sitting posture for longer hours.
Clearly, such moral stanza cannot destroy someone's mind or heart. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Also, C is irrelevant with the context. Hence, option 4 is eliminated. Thus, both A and B fit in the blank. Hence, option 3 i..e both A and B is the correct answer.
