Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

The news of the general elections was covered by __________ media.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. multiple.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. multiple- involving many people or things or having many parts.
  2. sole- only; single.
  3. singular- in the form that is used for talking about one person or thing only.
  4. single- only one.

"Multiple" which means "involving many people or things or having many parts" fits in the context appropriately.

"Media" is plural hence, we need to use adjective showing plural number.

Hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

The news of the general elections was covered by multiple media.
