Question

Select the appropriate headline for the following:
Several residents have complained that the new metro line has disrupted the calm and quiet of their neighborhoods and has led to a spike in the traffic leading up to the metro line.

• A. The residents are unhappy about the new metro line
• B. Residents unhappy new metro line
• C. Residents are unhappy about new metro line
• D. Residents unhappy about new metro line

Answer 1

The correct option is D Residents unhappy about new metro line

The correct answer is Option D. It denotes the central idea of the article and suits to the norms of a headline. Option A is incorrect due to the extra use of articles and auxiliary verb which are generally left out in a headline. Option C is incorrect due to the extra use of an auxiliary verb. Option B does not make any sense due to the omission of the preposition 'about'.
