Nainital has a 1_____ lake. Tourists come from far and wide to 2_____ boating here. There is a skating place behind it. People who skate here say that the ride seems to go around with them. Evenings are also pleasant here. The 3______ of the electric lights looks as if they are dancing in the ripples of the lake. Truly, Nainital is an 4______ city of 5_______ beauty.

Select the most appropriate option for blank 5.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. natural.

"Natural" describes something existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind.

In the context provided, it implies that Nainital's beauty is inherent and not artificially created.

This word choice aligns with the overall theme of the passage, which praises Nainital for its natural charm and beauty.

Therefore, the sentence with the correct option would be: "Truly, Nainital is an excellent city of natural beauty."
