Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank No. 5.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

Contextual meaning:

The sentence says: "How he lifted up Mount Govardhan to shelter his people from a (5) _______ that would have drowned them."

The word deluge means a severe flood, which fits perfectly with the idea of drowning.

Other options like snowfall, earthquake, and drought do not relate to drowning or flooding.

Final sentence: …he lifted up Mount Govardhan to shelter his people from a deluge that would have drowned them.

Hence, the chosen option is deluge.
