Q1. Choose the most appropriate word to complete the following sentence: An inscription on a tombstone is termed as __________.
A a cemetery
B a grave
C an epitaph Correct
D a sermon
Explanation
An inscription written on a tombstone is called an epitaph, so “an epitaph” correctly completes the sentence. A cemetery is a burial ground, not the writing on a stone. A grave is the place where a dead body is buried, not the words inscribed above it. A sermon is a religious or moral address, usually delivered by a preacher. The sentence asks for the term for the inscription itself, and that specific word is “epitaph”.
