Good Luck.
A temple that was [built / building] and named to honour India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi might have to be [named / renamed] . Supporters of India's leader had hoped to [inaugurate / invigorate] the Narendra Modi Temple on Sunday in the leader's home [statute / state] of Gujurat, but they have had to abandon the [ideal / idea] due to Mr Modi's opposition to it. The leader was said to have been [horrified / horrific] by the idea of a temple in his name. His supporters have already [unveiled / unrivaled] a statue of Modi, which has him in a [seated / sated] position under the symbol of his political party the BJP. Modi tweeted: "I was [appalled / appalling] . This is shocking and against India's great traditions. Building such temples is not what our culture [teaches / teach] us."

There is now a discussion going [on / in] regarding what to do with the temple and statue. Some [supporters / support] have suggested replacing the statue of Mr Modi with the [numeral / figure] of a Hindu god. Others insist Modi's statue [remains / retains] as the leader is still worthy of being honoured. Paresh Rawal, an edible [oil / oily] trader who donated the land for the temple, said: "We love Modi and [warship / worship] him because he is the [finest / finesse] leader we have ever had." Another supporter, Ramesh Undhad, told the AFP news agency: "We believe he is an [inculcation / incarnation] of God as after he became [chief / chef] minister of Gujarat, things changed for the better." Modi suggested people should use their time and resources [in / to] working towards a cleaner India.
