I received pm from "rampuria" C is not OA.

On Second try..

Will go for D.

here "will" --> (noun ) determination

sub : municipal will

X had made this boast reality.

only D makes sense.

What is OA?

I disagree. In that case, municipal "would have" is better choice than "will had"
C is the best.

you are right.. reality is reality.. I don't think we have powerful reality or powerless reality.

Other options are even worse.. (truely speaking..All options look bad)

It's better we shouldn't waste our time on this question..


What is source Mr Rampuria.
