The correct answer is Option (2) "incessant". Key Points

  • "incessant" means continuous and without interruption.(बिना किसी बाधा के/लगातार)
  • It is the most appropriate option to fill in the blank as it explains why the match schedule was disturbed. - The word is an adjective and modifies the noun "rains"
  • The sentence structure is Subject-Verb-Object, with "due to" introducing the cause of the disturbance.

 Additional Information

  • Option 1, "detestable"(घ्रिनास्पद), means deserving intense dislike or hatred. It does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
  • Option 3, "venerable"(सम्मान योग्य), means respected due to age, wisdom, or character. It does not relate to the sentence.
  • Option 4, "soothing"(आराम पहुचाने वाला), means having a calming or comforting effect. It is the opposite of what is needed in the sentence.
