Explanatory Answer

Option 1: The sentence describes framed portraits of Egyptian icons being displayed widely in old Cairo and how they are held up as symbols of a glorious past. ubiquitous: Means found everywhere, which fits because the portraits are present in various locations (alleyways, cafes, warehouses, and barbershops). immortalised: Means preserved in memory or honored, which aligns with how these portraits represent historical figures and a glorious past.
Option 2: Fashionable does not fit the historical and symbolic nature of the portraits, and confounded (meaning confused) makes no sense in this context.
Option 3: Contradictory; portraits cannot be both rare and abundant.
Option 4: Substantial (meaning large or significant) is not the best word for describing the presence of portraits, and dispersed (spread out) does not capture the idea of them being held up as symbols.

Hence, the answer is 'ubiquitous; immortalised'

Choice A is the correct answer.
