The house remained ___________ for a long time.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. vacant.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. vacant- (used about a house, hotel room, seat, etc.) not being used; empty.
  2. evicted- to force somebody (officially) to leave the house or land which he/she is renting.
  3. blank- empty, with nothing written, printed or recorded on it.
  4. empty- having nothing or nobody inside it.

"Vacant" which means "(used about a house, hotel room, seat, etc.) not being used; empty" fits in the context appropriately.

Hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

The house remained vacant for a long time.
