Fill on the blank with the correct collocation.
A gaggle of journalists sit in a/an ________ foyer waiting impatiently.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct collocation is hotel foyer.
A gaggle of journalists is a group of journalists, and a foyer is a large entrance hall in a building. So, a gaggle of journalists would typically sit in a hotel foyer, waiting impatiently for their turn to interview someone or to get information.
The other options are not correct collocations:
- Attic is a small room at the top of a house or building. It is not a place where journalists would typically sit.
- Ranch is a large farm in a rural area. It is not a place where journalists would typically sit.
- Croft is a small farm or settlement in a rural area. It is not a place where journalists would typically sit.
