Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The word abandoned suggests that the celebration was completely cancelled, which may not be the intended meaning. The context suggests that the celebration was likely rescheduled due to the adverse weather conditions. The option postponed is the correct alternative, as it accurately conveys the idea of rescheduling an event due to unfavourable weather conditions.
- Adjourned means to temporarily suspend a meeting with the intention of resuming it later.
- Inoperative means to describe something that is not functional.
The correct sentence should be: "The celebration was postponed due to heavy rains."
