Correct Answer: unveiling


Solution : The first option is correct.

The word unveiling refers to the action of revealing or uncovering something, often used in the context of revealing a new statue, monument, or artwork to the public for the first time. In this sentence, it describes the event that took place at the theatre on Monday.

The meanings of other words are as follows:

  • Countervailing : This means opposing or countering something, acting in opposition to a prevailing force or idea.
  • Veiling : This word refers to the act of covering or concealing something, typically with a veil or similar material. It implies hiding or obscuring something from view.
  • Reconciling : This term refers to the act of restoring friendly relations or resolving differences between two parties.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "A bronze statue of Fox, one of many such tributes across Canada, locks over the academic quadrangle of the university, just a short stroll from the theatre where Monday's unveiling was held."
