Question Numbers: 56-61
Directions: Fill in the blanks in the passage below, with the word from among the options given for each blank labelled (1) to (6). Choose the word that fits in each blank most appropriately in the context of the passage.
There is a ____(1)___ church in the city of New York that I have always regarded with peculiar interest, on account of a marriage solemnized there, under very singular circumstances, in my grandmother's girlhood. That venerable lady chanced to be a spectator of the ___(2)___ and made it her favourite narrative ever after. Whether the edifice now standing on the same site be the ___(3)___ one to which she referred, I am not antiquarian enough to know; nor would it be worthwhile to correct myself, perhaps, of an agreeable error, by reading the date of its erection on the tablet over the door. It is a stately church, ___(4)___ by an inclosure of the loveliest green, within which appear urns, pillars, obelisks, and other forms of monumental marble, the tributes of private affection, or more splendid memorials of historic dust. 
The marriage might be considered as the ___(5)___ of an early engagement, though there had been two intermediate weddings on the lady's part, and forty years of celibacy on that of the ___(6)___.
