Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He had always liked this mosque, it was gracious, and the arrangement ___________ him.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. pleased.
The correct choice is "pleased" because it conveys a positive reaction to the arrangement, which fits the overall tone of the sentence.
Since the speaker "liked" the mosque, it makes sense that the arrangement would make him feel pleased.
The other options—"dissatisfied", "bothered", and "happy"—either express negative emotions or are less fitting than "pleased" in this context.
