Question

Choose the right option to complete the blank.

They were _____ to wait till the signal was given.

• A. reprimanded
• B. told
• C. enquired
• D. assumed

Answer 1

The correct option is B told

Here, 'told' is the only choice that fits the context. 'Reprimanded' means a formal expression of disapproval, 'enquired' means to ask information and 'assumed' means to suppose. Therefore these options apart from B are all out of context. B is the correct answer.
