Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The most appropriate option to fill in blank 4 is "piece."
  • This word accurately conveys the idea of a small, individual item stuck to the shoe. The other options—packet, part, and block—do not fit as well in this context, as they suggest more substantial objects.
  • Overall, "piece" seamlessly integrates into the sentence, enhancing its coherence and clarity.
