Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and complete the collocation.

Although she didn't reveal her plans clearly, I had a ________ idea.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

  • The sentence suggests that the speaker did not receive a detailed explanation of the plans, but still managed to form an idea about them.
    • "Clear" would suggest that the speaker received a detailed explanation.
    • "Concise" would suggest that the explanation was brief and to the point.
    • "Complete" would suggest that the speaker received all the necessary information to fully understand the plans, which contradicts the given information that the speaker's idea was rough.
  • Therefore, the word that best fits the blank is "rough," which means approximate or not detailed.

Thus, the correct sentence would be:

Although she didn't reveal her plans clearly, I had a rough idea.

The sentence implies that the speaker's understanding of the plans is not clear or precise, but rather a rough estimation.
