Solution
The correct option is C protest
‘Expostulate’ means showing strong disapproval. So, the best
fit as the meaning of the word is option B, ‘Protest’. Protest means an action
or a statement which shows objection to something. The sentence means that before
he could protest, the other person spoke again. Option A ‘postulate’ means suggest
or assume for reasoning. Option C ‘explain’ means to tell what the words or
action meant. Option D ‘disclose’ means making secret known. Thus, options A, C and D are incorrect and the correct
answer is option B ‘Protest’.
