Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. bruised.
Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-
- burnt- to destroy, damage or injure somebody/something with fire or heat.
- scorched- to burn something so that its colour changes but it is not destroyed.
- bruised- an injury or mark where the skin has not been broken but is darker in colour, often as a result of being hit by something.
- damaged- to spoil or harm something, for example by breaking it.
"Bruised" which means "an injury or mark where the skin has not been broken but is darker in colour, often as a result of being hit by something" fits in the context appropriately.
Hence, it will be the correct choice.
Correct Sentence:-
My forefinger is still bruised where I caught it in the door this morning.
