Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

A faint mist ______ over the valley.

Options:

hung

swung

swayed

dangled

Correct Answer:

hung

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is hung.

The sentence is about a faint mist that is suspended in the air over a valley. The word "hung" is the most appropriate word to use in this context because it means to be suspended in the air. The mist is not swinging, swaying, or dangling. It is simply hanging there, like a delicate veil.

The other options are not as appropriate:

  • Swung does not make sense in this context.
  • Swayed does not make sense in this context.
  • Dangled does not make sense in this context.
