Celebrities neither show their excitement nor express their frustrate in front of the media persons.

• A. Frustration
• B. Frustrating
• C. Frustrates
• D. Frustrated

Answer 1

The correct option is A Frustration

In the given sentence, the underlined word is the object of the verb 'express'. An object of a verb is a noun, and hence the suitable option should be a noun. 'Frustrate' is a verb and must be replaced by a noun.

Option A: The noun form of 'frustrate' is 'frustration'. Hence it's the most suitable option.

Option B: 'Frustrating' is a verb form in the present continuous tense.

Option C: 'Frustrates' is a verb form in the simple present tense.

Option D: 'Frustrated' is also a verb form, in the past tense.

These words are all verbs whereas the suitable option must be a noun.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
