EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Aconfer
- Bpresent
- Cexecute
- Dadminister
Explanation
The standard collocation for putting office-holders under oath is 'administer the oath'. 'Confer' is used for degrees and honours, 'present' for gifts, and 'execute' for carrying out plans: none fits an oath of office. Hence option (d) is correct.
