Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option "revolutionised".

It effectively conveys that electricity has brought about significant and transformative changes in the course of modern events. "Revolutionised" indicates a major shift or change.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Developed : It implies progress and growth but may not emphasise the magnitude of change as effectively as "revolutionised."
  • Created : It is not a suitable fit in this context. While electricity has certainly played a role in creating modern events, the sentence is more about how it has transformed or revolutionised them.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Electricity has revolutionised the march of modern events".
