Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.
I am ______ of joining the armed forces.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. desirous.
- The sentence implies that the subject strongly wishes to join the armed forces.
- Also, the blank is followed by "of" so we need a word that is followed by of.
- Among the given options, "Desirous" is appropriate as the other options cannot be followed by "of".
- Desirous means having a strong wish or longing for something; feeling a strong desire or craving.
Thus, the corrected sentence would be: I am desirous of joining the armed forces.
