What should come in the place of blank number (3)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. materializes.
Context: The sentence describes how infrastructure converts abstract promises into physical form.
Meaning of the words:
Transposes: Transfers or changes position.
Articulates: Expresses clearly.
Conceals: Hides something.
Materializes: Makes something real or concrete.
Correct word: Materializes
Reason: “Materializes” fits best as it conveys turning abstract promises into tangible, physical form.
Final Sentence: In this schema, infrastructure ceases to be an engineering problem and becomes a narrative technology—a spatial discourse that materializes the nation-state's promises into sedimented form.
Hence the chosen option is correct.
