Question

CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE PHRASE TO REPLACE THE UNDERLINED PHRASE IN THE KIND OF WRITING SPECIFIED.

I am unhappy with the service I received at your hotel recently. (An email to the manager of a hotel)

• A. I am annoyed
• B. I am disgraced
• C. I am dissatisfied
• D. I am grossed out

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

I am dissatisfied

Since the question specifically asks us to replace the underlined phrase, i.e 'I am unhappy', the replacement must be very close in meaning and sense to it. Option C) is the most closest in terms of meaning as it expresses the original sentiment of displeasure and unhappiness reflected in the original phrase. Grossed out and disgraced are different emotions entirely.
