Select the most appropriate option for blank 1.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. beautiful.

The sentence structure suggests that Nainital has a lake, and the missing word should positively describe the lake.

"Beautiful" fits perfectly as it describes something visually attractive, pleasing, and appealing.

It aligns with the context of tourists visiting the lake and enjoying activities like boating, implying that the lake's appearance is a significant draw.

Therefore, the sentence with the correct option would be: "Nainital has a beautiful lake."
