Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct answer is the first option because hold should be replaced with cause which means to be the reason for something to convey the intended meaning that the dissidents are responsible for the problems.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Instil means to gradually introduce or impart something.
Incite means to provoke.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The dissidents cause a great problem in every political party".
