Select the most appropriate word from the given options to fill in the blank in the given sentence:-
He won three _____ championships, creating a record in the league's history.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → consecutive
Consecutive (Adjective): Following continuously in uninterrupted succession. Winning three championships in a row is a significant achievement that establishes a record, making it the best fit.
Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
-
Concurrent (Adjective): Happening or existing at the same time. (Implies winning three championships simultaneously, which is impossible).
-
Cumulative (Adjective): Increasing or becoming bigger by successful additions. (Refers to the total amount over time, not the continuity of the wins).
-
Consequential (Adjective): Following as a result or effect; significant. (While the wins are significant, the key point of the record is their continuous succession).
