Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:

The Coffee Room was ___________ into smoking and non-smoking areas.

• A. Amalgamated
• B. Considered
• C. Segregated
• D. Shared

Answer 1

The correct option is C Segregated

Option C is the correct answer because ‘segregated’ means ‘separated from others’. It is mentioned that there were two areas in the coffee room: smoking area and non-smoking area. Thus, option C is the most appropriate word to complete the meaning of the sentence.
Option A is incorrect because ‘amalgamated’ means ‘to combine’. The sentence describes ‘into smoking and non-smoking areas’. Thus, option A is the not the appropriate word for the given sentence.
Option B is incorrect because ‘considered’ means ‘take into account’. Thus, option B is the not the appropriate word to complete the meaning of the given sentence.
Option D is incorrect because ‘shared’ means ‘to divide’, which does not fit stylistically in the sentence.
