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".
