Question

Rahul broke his mother's favourite vase with a cricket ball. His mother said, 'You... You... Get out of the house."
What does the ellipsis indicate in the sentence above?

• A. trailing angry thought
• B. kind words
• C. no expression
• D. appreciation

Answer 1

The correct option is A trailing angry thought

It is pretty obvious from the context that Rahul's mother is dangerously angry with his because he has broken her favourite vase. Therefore, she won't be saying him anything kind or appreciate him for what he has done. She is so angry that she can't figure out with what fit words she should scold him. So, out of anger she tells him to get out of the house. Thus, the ellipsis suggest a trailing angry thought. Hence, Option A is correct.
