Fill on the blank with the correct collocation.

A gaggle of journalists sit in a/an ________ foyer waiting impatiently.

hotel

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.
