Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

The actor's sitting room was luxurious and ___________.

• A. Congested
• B. Elevated
• C. Costly
• D. Ostentatious

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Ostentatious

Option D: 'Ostentatious' means 'exhibited in a way to impress others'.

It relates to the sentence in meaning: the actor's sitting room was luxurious and would easily impress the others.

Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'Congested' means 'to fill to excess, overcrowd or clog'.

Option B: 'Elevated' means 'raised up, above normal level'.

Option C: 'Costly' means 'resulting in great expense'. The 'luxurious room' must be costly, but it doesn't compliment the word 'luxurious' to form a coherent meaning.

These words do not complete the sentence in meaning, and 'ostentatious' is the most appropriate option.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
