Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. entertaining.

Context: The sentence describes qualities of her presentation. It was informative and also had the quality of being enjoyable or engaging, so an adjective is required to pair with “informative.”

Meaning of the words:

  • Entertaining – an adjective meaning enjoyable or amusing, correct here.

  • Entertain – a verb, not suitable as it does not describe the presentation.

  • Entertainer – a noun, refers to a person, not the presentation.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
