Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Unlike the conviction held by many of her colleagues that

HelloShiv2016 ,

The sentence does not useconviction andconvinced interchangeably. With the change in the structure of the answer choice, the noun conviction and the verb were convinced has been used to suit the structure so that the choice can express the intended meaning.

But yes, both these words have been used to the same effect.


Hope this helps.
