Words A and D, and B and E have been interchanged.

(A) :- here ‘kicked’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘kicked’ is ‘to start to have an effect or to start operating’. Since the award ceremony has started, therefore ‘kicked’ is the correct word.

(B) :- here ‘powerful’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘powerful’ is ‘strong’. ‘muted’ here does not make sense. Names of celebrities like Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama suggest that ‘powerful’ is the most suitable word.

(D) :- here ‘display’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘display’ is ‘a performance, show, or EVENT staged for public entertainment’.

(E) :- here ‘muted’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘muted’ is ‘silent, toned down’. ‘FEMALE voices were SOMEWHAT muted at the 2018 ceremony’ forms a meaningful phrase.

Correct sentence – ‘The 61st Grammy AWARDS kicked with a group of powerful women, including Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga, DESCRIBING the role of music in their lives a display that came a year after female voices were somewhat muted at the 2018 ceremony.’
