Question

Fill in blank (9) with the most appropriate answer:

• A. Contained
• B. Included
• C. Comprised
• D. Consisted

Answer 1

The correct option is B Included

'Included' is the right choice of adjective here as it means 'contained as a part of whole being considered'.

'Contain' is used with reference to another object, eg. contained in a box, 'comprise' means made up of eg. the country comprises 29 states, whereas 'consist' refers to a specific set of subjects eg. crew consists of five men. Therefore options A, C, D are incorrect.

Option B is the correct answer.
