Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. finished.

The meaning of the given words is:

  • The underlined word in the sentence is "left." It means that there were some chocolates that remained unconsumed or unclaimed after the Halloween trick or treating event.
  • The antonym of "left" is "taken," which means that all the chocolates were consumed or claimed and none were left behind.
  • Therefore, the correct antonym for "left" is not present among the options provided.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

A few chocolates were finished after the Halloween’s trick or treat fair.
