Question

Complete the sentence using the most appropriate option:

There was a fight at the party but nobody got _________.

• A. stolen
• B. damaged
• C. hurt
• D. used

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

hurt

The sentence indicates that there was a fight but the result was unexpected. Thus, we can conclude that nobody was 'injured'. The option closest in meaning to 'injured' is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect. Stolen means 'taken without consent'. Thus, it is not a good fit for the blank.

Option B is incorrect. Although damaged is somewhat close in meaning to 'injured', it is generally used to refer to non-living things. Thus, it is not the best fit.

Option C is correct. Hurt means 'injured'. Also, it is generally used to signify human injury. Thus, it is the perfect fit or the blank.

Option D is incorrect. Used is not even close in meaning to injured. Thus, it is incorrect.
