Radhakrishnan ........................ Hinduism in the West.

  • A.propounded
  • B.studied
  • C.popularized
  • D.researched

Answer: C

The key gives popularized.

The passage says Radhakrishnan 'has been held up in academic circles as a representative of Hinduism to the West' and that 'his publications have been influential in shaping the understanding of Hinduism, India, and the East by the West'. Making a religion widely known and understood to a new audience is what 'popularized Hinduism in the West' describes.

'Propounded' means put forward as a doctrine, which suits the originator of an idea and not someone who carried an existing religion to the West. 'Studied' and 'researched' name private scholarly work, whereas the passage stresses his influence on public understanding.
