Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
At ___________ we didn't get on very well but later we became friends.

• A. beginning
• B. first
• C. least
• D. once
• E. principle

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

first

It usually takes time to get into any relationship, be it friendship. The phrase 'at first' means 'at the very beginning'. So, in this context the speaker says that at first he didn't get well with a particular person but later on they became friends. So, option B is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the correct answer.
