Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. breeding

Context: The sentence says the education system is causing frustrations among students and teachers. We need a word that means creating or producing such negative feelings.

Meaning of the words:

Breeding: Causing or producing something over time.
Renovating: Repairing or improving something old (like a building).
Gracing: Adding beauty, charm, or honour.
Training: Teaching a skill.

Correct word: Breeding

Reason: “Breeding” is the only word that fits the context of producing more and more frustrations. It means that the system is giving rise to or causing frustrations.

Final Sentence: The education system is breeding more and more frustrations among both students and teachers.

Hence the chosen option is correct.
