Question

Fill in blank (4)____ with the most appropriate answer.

• A. Crest
• B. Crown
• C. Peak
• D. Tip

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Peak

Option A - 'Crest' means to reach the top of a mountain or a hill. However, the sentence is about the highest peak in the world and not the verb 'crest'. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Crown' means to form the top of (verb) and the tiara (noun). As the Mount Everest is not a tiara and it doesn't form the top of anything, option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Tip' means only the top of something. It can't be referred to the whole mountain. For example, 'The tip of the iceberg.' Thus option D is incorrect

Option C - 'Peak' is referred to the pointed top part of the mountain, which refers to the Mount Everest as the question uses the word 'highest'. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'His lifelong ambition to conquer the highest peak in the world.'
