In the following question, sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word(s). Four alternatives are suggested for the question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.
The king was _______ while he was addressing his subjects.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. assassinated.
- 'Assassination' means the murder of an important person. The rest of the options means the same (murder) but it doesn't specifically address the murder of a special person, that is the 'king' in the given sentence. So, the appropriate word to be used here is 'assassinated'.
