Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.

Hatched is a suitable word in this context. It means to devise, develop, or plan something, often secretly or deviously. In this context, it means that Ram devised a plan, which is the intended meaning.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Cultivated: It means to prepare and use land for growing crops.
  • Fabricated: It means to invent or create something, often with the implication that it is false or untrue.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Ram hatched a conspiracy to cheat Abdul.
