To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the given statement:
"As citizens of India, we … … … both our democracy and secularism."
From the statement, we can infer that the citizens of India play a role in supporting and upholding both democracy and secularism.
Now, let's evaluate the options:
A: promote - This means to actively encourage or support. It aligns with the idea that citizens actively contribute to the promotion of democracy and secularism.
B: cherish - This means to value or hold dear. While citizens may cherish democracy and secularism, it does not necessarily imply an active role in upholding them.
C: establish - This means to set up or create. Citizens do not establish democracy and secularism as they are already established principles in India.
D: elemental - This refers to something that is essential or fundamental. While democracy and secularism are essential in India, citizens do not play a direct role in them being elemental.
E: declare - This means to announce or proclaim. Citizens do not declare democracy and secularism as they are already declared principles in the Indian Constitution.
Based on the analysis, option C: establish is the correct answer as citizens of India play a role in upholding and supporting democracy and secularism, but they do not establish them.

However, this feeling soon faded as the person discovered something about the wallet. Let's analyze the given options to determine what could have caused the person's disappointment:
A: Empty: This option seems plausible because an empty wallet would not contain any money or valuable items, causing the person's excitement to fade.
B: Vacant: "Vacant" means empty or unoccupied, similar to option A. It also implies that the wallet does not contain anything of value.
C: Recovered: The word "recovered" implies that the wallet was lost or missing and has been found again. This option does not fit the context of the sentence because the person's face glowing initially suggests they were happy to find the wallet, rather than relieved or surprised by its recovery.
D: Stolen: The word "stolen" means that something has been taken unlawfully. This option does not fit the context because the person found the wallet, indicating that it was not stolen.
E: Expensive: While finding an expensive wallet might cause excitement, the fading of the person's face suggests a negative revelation. Therefore, this option does not fit the context.
Based on the analysis, option A, empty, is the most suitable answer. The person's initial excitement faded because the wallet was found to be empty, disappointing them.
