Correct Answer: DACB


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The sentences describe how time has left a lasting ( S1 ) impact on the appearance of the country, making it stark and sad ( D ). Despite efforts to conceal this through metaphorical "lipstick", ( AC ) the true face of the country endures, ( B ) influenced by the spiritual half-castes ( S6 ).

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: Time has made the face of my country stark, chastened, and sad, and it remains so in spite of the lipstick that is being put on it by the hand of the spiritual half-castes.
