Explanatory Answer

Option 1: The word "state" is misused here. It appears the intent was to express qualities like dignity or grandeur, but "state" in this context is awkward and does not convey that meaning. A better choice might be "stature" or "grandeur."
Option 2: "State" is used correctly to denote a political region, as in the case of Uttar Pradesh, which is indeed a state in India.
Option 3: "State" is aptly used as a verb meaning "to declare or articulate." The magistrate asking the lawyer to state the grounds is appropriate.
Option 4: Here, "state" correctly refers to the condition of his grandfather's health. It effectively communicates the intended meaning.

Hence, the answer is 'Her admirers considered her demeanour to be of great state and refinement, and most impressive.'

Choice A is the correct answer.
