Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and complete the sentence.
You just wait in the lobby. I will be back after _________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. a quick shower.
The phrase "a quick shower" is commonly used because quick refers to something done in a short time, and showers are typically described this way.
Fast is more commonly used for speed rather than duration, so "a fast shower" sounds unnatural.
Similarly, "a fast meal" and "a quick food" are incorrect because quick and fast don't naturally collocate with meal or food in this context.
