Improve the bracketed part of the sentence. The best way to alleviate poverty and (upheaval) the people of the subcontinent is to resolve our differences. Correct Answer Uplift
The correct answer is option 2.
The word 'upheaval' is incorrect in the given sentence. It should be replaced with 'uplift'.
'Upheaval' means 'to upset' or 'to trouble'. The first part of the sentence conveys a positive meaning and so the second part would also be positive.
'Upstream' means 'to be in the opposite direction of the flow of a water body'.
'Uplift' means 'to raise' or 'to elevate'. 'Upbeat' means 'a cheerful beat'.
Out of all the options, the only word that fits the meaning of the sentence is 'uplift'.
Therefore, the correct sentence will be:
The best way to alleviate poverty and uplift the people of the subcontinent is to resolve our differences.
