Direction : Replace the underlined phrases/idioms in the following sentences with the appropriate phrases/words given below the respective sentences.
Ramesh was called upon to explain guilt.
Answer: A
'Called upon' here means summoned.
To be called upon to do something is to be formally required or asked to do it by someone in authority. Being called upon to explain one's guilt means being summoned to give an account.
Invited suggests a friendly, optional request, which does not suit explaining guilt. Explained repeats a word already in the sentence and does not replace 'called upon'. Since 'summoned' fits, 'None of these' is wrong.
