Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The bright colour of this shirt has_____away.

Options:

paled

faded

disappeared

gone

Correct Answer:

faded

Explanation:

The bright colour of this shirt has faded away.

Explanation:

  • Paled: This verb means to become lighter in color or less intense, but it doesn't fully convey the idea of the color losing its brightness over time.
  • Faded: This verb accurately describes the process of a color becoming less vibrant or intense due to exposure to light, washing, or other factors. It fits the context of the sentence.
  • Disappeared: This verb means to vanish completely, which is a stronger implication than the color fading.
  • Gone: This verb means to no longer exist or be present, which doesn't accurately describe the gradual change of color intensity as indicated in the sentence. "Faded" is the most appropriate choice.
