Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) buttressed
वाक्यांश not only grounded ... but also ___ by को ध्यान से देखिए।
जोड़े के दोनों हिस्सों का रूप एक जैसा होना चाहिए। 'Grounded' V3 है, और 'by' passive (कर्मवाच्य) का संकेत देता है, इसलिए not only grounded ... but also buttressed।
✓
...was not only grounded in textual exegesis but also buttressed by a broader philosophical framework.
'Buttressing' एक -ing रूप है, जो 'grounded' से मेल नहीं खाता।
सरल अर्थ: ...वह न केवल पाठ्य व्याख्या पर आधारित थी, बल्कि एक व्यापक दार्शनिक ढाँचे से सहारा भी पाती थी।
Look at not only grounded ... but also ___ by.
Both sides of the pair need the same form. 'Grounded' is V3, and 'by' shows a passive, so not only grounded ... but also buttressed.
✓
...was not only grounded in textual exegesis but also buttressed by a broader philosophical framework.
'Buttressing' is an -ing form and would not match 'grounded'.
