Question

Select the appropriate option to fill in the blank:

With two school going children to manage, some of my mornings are quite ________.

• A. jumpy
• B. rushed
• C. relaxed
• D. racy

Answer 1

The correct option is B rushed

Let’s examine the statement: “With two school going children to manage, some of my mornings are quite ________.” The speaker is trying to say that his or her mornings are hurried as he or she has two manage two school going children and put their affairs in order at that time. So, the blank requires a word that means “hurried.” Option A or ‘jumpy’ means ‘nervous and agitated’ and so cannot be used here. Option C or ‘relaxed’ means ‘at ease’ and so cannot be used here. Option D or ‘racy’ means ‘lively’ and so cannot be used here. Option B or ‘rushed’ means ‘time pressed and hurried’ and so is the correct word to be used here. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
