Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She was not listening while _________.

• A. I was talking
• B. we are complaining
• C. she is very angry with you
• D. you tell him something to do

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

I was talking

Option A is the most appropriate answer since the cause and effect in the sentence are in agreement with each other. The statements in options B,C and D are incorrect because they are not compatible with the event displayed in the first part of the sentence and, thus, make no sense, making the sentence nonsensical. Therefore, Options B,C and D are incorrect in this context.
