Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable word:

Thinking about his defeat, she said, makes her work harder because she dreads feeling as _________ as he did.

• A. Perceived
• B. Empty
• C. Uninvolved
• D. Bent

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Empty

Option A: 'Perceived' means 'interpreted in a particular way'.
Option C: 'Uninvolved' means 'not connected or concerned'.
Option D: 'Bent' means 'morally crooked'.
Option B: 'Empty' means 'having no value or purpose', 'meaningless'.
This word 'empty' is the most suitable one, because it completes the sentence meaningfully. After defeat, he felt empty, meaningless, so 'she' dreads feeling the same way. Hence option B is correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because these words are not very suitable for the sentence.
