Choose
the option that completes the sentence correctly:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Unheralded
'Unheralded' means not previously expected or acclaimed. Here, it indicates that Jim was generally unnoticed on the field and, therefore, was pleasantly surprised with the praise he received. Hence, option D is the right answer. 'Indelible' means permanent or 'impossible to remove'. 'Methodical' means well-planned (as in a methodical approach). 'Reticent' means reserved or quiet. None of these options fit correctly in the context of the sentence, hence they are all wrong answers.
