In each of the questions below, a sentence is given with two portions marked in bold. Choose the best replacement (if needed) for the highlighted portion to make the sentence meaningfully and grammatically correct.   They accept the Prophet's words but reject some of his sayings. Correct Answer Precepts, strictures

Sayings involve words too. So it doesn't make sense when the sentence says ''they accept words but reject sayings.'' The correct option is precepts and strictures. Precept means ''a general rule intended to regulate behaviour or thought.'' And strictures means ''a restriction on a person or activity.'' Option 3 is the correct answer.

Reservations: the action of reserving something.

restrictions: a limiting condition or measure, especially a legal one.

Resolution: a firm decision to do or not to do something.

confederation: an organization which consists of a number of parties or groups united in an alliance or league.
