Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I could make out from my son's voice that he was _____ as his exam did not go well.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. sad.
Context: The sentence talks about the son’s voice after his exam did not go well. We need a word that reflects his emotional state.
Meaning of the words:
-
rejected – means refused or dismissed, not suitable for exam context.
-
abrogated – means canceled or abolished, not related to emotions.
-
confused – means puzzled, not directly related to exam disappointment.
-
sad – means feeling unhappy or sorrowful, perfectly fits the context.
Correct word: sad
Reason: Since the exam result made the son unhappy, the correct word describing his emotion is “sad”. Other options are either unrelated to feelings or contextually incorrect.
Final Sentence: I could make out from my son's voice that he was sad as his exam did not go well.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
