Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option, " provoked".
"Provoked" means to stimulate, often due to some action or behaviour. In the sentence, the teacher's reaction is a result of the mischievous behaviour of the students, so "provoked" fits well.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Evoked means to bring a feeling, memory, or image to mind.
- Inspired means to motivate or encourage.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The teacher was provoked by the mischievous behaviour of the students".
