Question

Choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

Because Sarah had slept very badly she was absolutely _____.

• A. sleepy
• B. exhausted
• C. tricky
• D. tiring

Answer 1

The correct option is B exhausted

'Exhausted' means very tired and it fits the given context perfectly. Not sleeping well caused Sarah to be very tired. 'Exhausted' is a better choice than 'sleepy' because the later is obvious and does not need to be stated. Tricky and tiring do not fit the context. Thus B is the answer.
