Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is plethora i.e. option 1.

  • The given passage is about the beach.
  • In the third blank number, plethora should be used.
  • In the context of the sentence, blank number 3 should be filled with a word that describes a large amount or variety of sights at the beach.
  • "Plethora": This word means a large or excessive amount of something.
  • It fits well in the context of describing a wide range of sights, as in "a plethora of sights" (a large number of various sights).
  • Hence, the correct answer would be plethora.
