Complete the sentence by choosing appropriate word from the given options :

The Republic Day was __________ with due solemnity.

  • A.observed
  • B.enjoyed
  • C.celebrated
  • D.performed

Answer: A

The answer is observed: The Republic Day was observed with due solemnity.

To observe a day is to mark it formally with the proper ceremonies and respect, and it collocates naturally with with due solemnity, which stresses dignity and seriousness.

Celebrated suggests festivity and rejoicing, which sits less well with solemnity. Enjoyed describes personal pleasure, and performed is used of ceremonies or duties, not of a day.
