Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
The _________ with which he is able to wield the paintbrush is really remarkable.

• A. ease
• B. sweep
• C. talent
• D. majesty
• E. practice

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

ease

Option A: 'Ease' means 'absence of difficulty or effort'.

Here the person 'he' is able to "wield the paintbrush" without much effort.

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option A is correct.

Option B: 'Sweep' is 'clean by brushing away dirt or litter'.

Option C: 'Talent' means 'natural aptitude or skill'.

Option D: 'Majesty' means 'causing respect and admiration due to its beauty'.

Option E: 'Practice' means 'application of an idea, way of doing something'.

These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.

Hence options B, C, D and E are incorrect.
