Correct Answer: 1


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

Called off means to cancel something. In this context, it implies that the lecture was cancelled due to the bandh, which is a more appropriate and clear way to express the situation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Disturbed means to interrupt somebody when they are trying to work or do something.

  • Interrupted means to say or do something that makes somebody stop what they are saying or doing.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "His lecture was called off because of the bandh."
