Verified by Toppr

The correct spelling for the italicized word in both the sentences is 'Reverent'. Reverent means showing respect and admiration. Both Sentence I and II have incorrect spelling of 'Reverent'. The second sentence doesn't make any sense either. So, options A, B, C and D are incorrect and the correct answer is option E, i.e: neither I nor II is correct, and the sentence could not be made correct by interchanging the italicized words.
