Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Devoted implies a strong commitment or dedication to something. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that Reyansh is committed to spending a significant amount of time on music.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Spent: It indicates the use of time without emphasising the depth of involvement.

  • Lent: It usually involves giving something temporarily, often money or an item, to someone else.

  • Gave: " Gave " is the past tense of the verb " give ". It means to transfer the possession or delivery of something to someone else.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Reyansh devoted most of his time to music."
