Question

Choose the word which best fills the blank from the four options given.

Pakistan lost a ___________ wicket just when they seemed to be doing well, and that led to their eventual defeat.

• A. Critical
• B. Crucial
• C. Sensitive
• D. Providential

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Crucial

Critical means 'judgemental and analysing for faults.'

Crucial means decisive or important, especially in the success or failure of something.

Sensitive means quick to detect or respond to slight changes including displaying quick emotions.

Providential means occurring at a favorable time; opportune.

So, the most appropriate answer is option B) crucial as the wicket could have led to them winning the match had they not lost it.
