Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks from the given alternatives.

He was _______ in our plan.

• A. Interest
• B. Interesting
• C. Interested
• D. Disinterest

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Interested

The options 'interest' and 'interesting' are incorrect because interest either a noun or a verb cannot describe the person 'he' over here. 'Interesting' is something that arouses or catches the interest of a person. The person in given context cannot be interesting, but the plan can be interesting to me. Either of the other two options, 'interested' and 'disinterested' can be correct. 'Interested' is an adjective that means a person is showing or feeling a level of interest. Similarly, 'disinterested' is the exact opposite of the former adjective, that is, the person does not show any interest in something. In the given sentence the person can be interested or disinterested in the plan.
