Correct Answer: his thesis scholarly


Solution : The second option is correct.

The Term thesis means a type of research paper based on one's original research, so it is already done scholarly. Hence, the adverb scholarly should be deleted in this case.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be, "The research fellow defended his thesis and obtained the degree".
