Question

Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
The tired traveller__________on in the hope of finding some resting place.

• A. strolled
• B. scurried
• C. paraded
• D. plodded

Answer 1

The correct option is D plodded

Option D, 'plodded' which means walking slowly, with difficulty is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect mainly because it is mentioned that the traveller is extremely tired therefore using any of these options doesn't seem logically correct. 'Strolled' means to walk in a leisurely manner, 'scurried' means to walk fast with hurried quick steps and 'paraded' means to march.
