Question:

Fill in the blank with an appropriate option. Ram placed her in one of the ______ leather chairs opposite his desk.

Options:

marinated

brewed

quilted

stewed

Correct Answer:

quilted

Explanation:

Ram placed her in one of the quilted leather chairs opposite his desk.

Explanation:

  • Marinated: This word is used in the context of soaking food in a marinade for flavoring. It doesn't fit the context of describing a type of leather chair.

  • Brewed: This word is used in the context of making beverages like tea or coffee by steeping or boiling. It doesn't fit the context of describing a type of leather chair.

  • Quilted: This is the correct word choice. "Quilted" refers to a material that has been sewn with a layer of padding in between, creating a soft, textured pattern. In this context, it describes the type of leather chairs.

  • Stewed: This word is used in the context of cooking food slowly in liquid. It doesn't fit the context of describing a type of leather chair.
