Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. talk.

  • In the given passage, the most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "talk".
  • The sentence talks about how the speaker wants to talk about their idea all the time when it's their own idea.
  • "Customise" means to modify something to meet individual needs, which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
  • "Express" means to convey a thought or feeling in words, which is similar to "talk", but does not fit as well in the context of the sentence.
  • "Meet" means to come into the presence of someone, which is not related to the idea of talking about one's own ideas.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:

"When it's your idea, you want to talk about it all the time. I've had this problem on more than a few occasions now."
