Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the following sentence.
If you do hard work, you will have the expected results.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. desired results.
The phrase "expected results" refers to results that one hopes to achieve.
The best word to replace "expected results" is "desired results".
Desired results: Results that a person wants to achieve.
The other options are incorrect because:
Good results: Too general.
Required results: Suggests a necessary result, not a hoped-for result.
Bad results: Opposite in meaning.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
