Question

Complete the sentence with a suitable option:
"It was so with Shrewsbury".
In this sentence Shrewsbury refers to _________________.

• A. a city where cricket was played
• B. an annual cricket match
• C. a fine bowler
• D. a famous cricketer

Answer 1

The correct option is D a famous cricketer

The passage is about cricket. It describes the play of a cricketer by the name Arthur Shrewsbury. Thus, D is the correct answer.

Shrewsbury was a batsman, so C is wrong.

The passage refers to Shrewsbury as "him" and goes on to describe how he played cricket. So, it cannot be a city. Hence, A is incorrect.

B is wrong.
