Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. his thesis scholarly.
Given sentence: The research fellow defended / his thesis scholarly / and obtained the degree.
'His thesis scholarly' should be replaced by 'his thesis' as thesis means a long piece of writing on a particular subject.
So, the 'scholarly' is redundant in the sentence.
Correct sentence: The research fellow defended / his thesis / and obtained the degree.
