Fill Blanks

Question:

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. ______!

What have you done to your hair? You are looking so odd.

Options:

Hurrah

Bother

Bravo

Goodness

Correct Answer:

Goodness

Explanation:

Goodness! What have you done to your hair? You are looking so odd.

Explanation:

  • Hurrah: This is an exclamation used to express joy, triumph, or encouragement. It doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the speaker is expressing surprise or concern.

  • Bother: This is an exclamation expressing annoyance, irritation, or concern. While it fits the context better than "Hurrah," it doesn't convey the same level of surprise as "Goodness."

  • Bravo: This is an exclamation used to express approval or admiration, typically in response to an accomplishment. It doesn't fit the context of expressing surprise about someone's appearance.

  • Goodness: This is the most appropriate choice. "Goodness" is used to express mild surprise, concern, or disbelief, which fits the context of the sentence where the speaker is expressing astonishment at the change in appearance.
