Question

The question below has blanks indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of word(s) that best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Long distance relationships can be very ______ as you don’t have to tell your partner where you are or what are you doing all the time, ______ it can also make a person depressed, aloof and isolated.

• A. liberating, but
• B. trying, and
• C. healing, since
• D. difficult, although
• E. alarming, then

Answer 1

The correct option is A

liberating, but

As this sentence presents two sides of the same issue - Long distance relationships, in the first blank, ‘liberating’ should be used between ‘Long distance relationships can be very’ and ‘as you don’t have to tell your partner’. This should be followed by ‘but’ before ‘it can also make a person depressed, aloof and isolated’, in the second blank.
