Correct Answer: Cultivated


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option "cultivated".

"Cultivated'' means to develop or nurture, and it fits perfectly in the sentence conveying the intended meaning that Priya developed a taste for poetry in the company of her cousin.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • "Imbibed'' means to absorb or take in something without deliberate effort.

  • "Learnt'' means acquiring knowledge or skill.

Therefore, the complete sentence is "Priya cultivated a taste for poetry in the company of her cousin".
