Which of the following phrases best fits in the blank (I) to make the sentence both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful?

"Mr. A. Rangaswami Iyengar B.A. B.L., Editor, “Swadesa Mitran” writes: — The unique sequence of events which have been crowded into the past fortnight in the history of India can hardly be ignored by any thinking Indian and it may be useful to take just a ___(I)___ with a view to indicate the immediate work that looms before Indian Nationalists."

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence requires a phrase that fits grammatically and makes sense in the context of the passage.

2. The phrase "cursory survey of them" fits perfectly because it means a brief or quick examination, which aligns well with the idea of taking a quick look at recent events.

3. Other options do not fit grammatically or contextually:
   - "roughly form the entities of modern-day" is incomplete and awkward.
   - "merely on territorial extent of its sovereignty" lacks a proper connection to the sentence.
   - "religious intermingling to new level of exploration" is unrelated to the context.

**Answer:** "cursory survey of them"
