Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The anchor gave us a _____ welcome, a pleasant smile and a bouquet on reaching the hotel.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. warm.
The meaning of the given words is:
- Warm can be used to describe a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, which is exactly what the anchor provided in the sentence.
- Worth means value or usefulness, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
- Winning means achieving victory or success, which is not appropriate in this context.
- Wonderful means extremely good or enjoyable, which is close in meaning to "warm," but not as appropriate in this context as "warm" because "warm" specifically connotes a welcoming atmosphere.
Thus, the most appropriate filler for the given blank is warm.
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
The anchor gave us a warm welcome, a pleasant smile and a bouquet on reaching the hotel.
