Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

After the shipwreck, they were _________ on the island for three days.

• A. Sleeping
• B. Marooned
• C. Guided
• D. Found

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Marooned

Option B is the correct answer because the sentence describes that there was a shipwreck and the word 'marooned' completes the sentence. 'Marooned' means 'being abandoned in an isolated place'. The isolated place in this sentence is the 'island'. Thus 'marooned' is the appropriate word for this sentence.
Option A is incorrect because the word 'sleeping' doesn't complete the meaning of the sentence.
Option C is incorrect because 'guided' is not appropriate grammatically.
Option D is incorrect because 'found' doesn't complete the meaning of the sentence.
