• A. Tina suddenly fainted
• B. Tina had a power cut
• C. Tina switched off the lights
• D. Tina ran out of black colour

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Tina suddenly fainted

The underlined sentence means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, the answer must have a similar meaning.

Option A is correct. It means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect. It means 'Tina's electricity went out'. Thus it does not have the required meaning.

Option C is incorrect. It also does not have the required meaning as Tina did not switch off the lights.

Option D is incorrect. It does not have the required meaning. Thus, it is incorrect.
