In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the four alternatives. Fraternity, then, was meant to complement civil rights, (Q.96) to destroy them. The (Q.97) framers did not use this symbolic term for a court to come along 66 years (Q.98) and (Q.99) it for the purposes of subordinating individual rights to some mythic notion of community harmony, entirely submerging the individual (Q.100) the society. Find the appropriate word for Q.99.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The sentence uses a parallel structural infinitive linked by "and": "...for a court to come along 66 years later and appropriate it...". Both verbs "come" and "appropriate" follow the infinitive marker "to" (to [come] ... and [appropriate]). Therefore, the base form of the verb (appropriate) is required.
