Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. horrible.
- "Horrible" conveys a similar meaning of something that is very unpleasant or distasteful, matching the meaning of the word ghastly i.e. extremely unpleasant or bad.
- The other options (comforting, agreeable, pleasant) suggest positive qualities that do not fit the intended meaning.
