Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The concert tickets were sold out within minutes, leaving many fans ______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. disappointed.
Context: The sentence implies that the concert tickets were sold out very quickly, so fans who could not get tickets would have a negative reaction. We need a word that conveys a feeling of unhappiness or frustration in the blank.
Meaning of the words:
Satisfied: Contented or pleased; the opposite of what the context implies.
Disappointed: Sad or displeased because something desired did not happen.
Screaming: Shouting loudly; does not fit the emotional reaction intended.
Clear: Free from obstruction or easy to perceive; irrelevant here.
Correct word: Disappointed
Reason: Among the options, only “disappointed” correctly conveys the negative emotional response of fans unable to get tickets.
Final Sentence: The concert tickets were sold out within minutes, leaving many fans disappointed.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
