Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → hotspot
Complete sentence: The newly opened café became a popular hotspot for artists and writers to gather and share ideas. The sentence says artists and writers came to the cafe to gather and share ideas, so it became a popular hotspot for them.
| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) playground | an outdoor area where children play (a cafe where writers share ideas is not a playground) | The children ran to the playground after school. |
| (2) hotspot (answer) | a popular place where many people gather for a particular activity | The old fort has become a hotspot for photographers. |
| (3) showcase | a place or event for displaying something to its best advantage (the sentence is about gathering and talking, not displaying work) | The fair is a showcase for local handicrafts. |
| (4) meeting | an event where people come together, not a place ("a popular meeting for artists to gather" does not make sense, though "meeting place" would) | The principal called a meeting of all the teachers. |
