Question

Choose the best option to complete the given sentence:
Rashmi: We are planning a trip to Tuscany, this semester.
Tina: Oh really! Tuscany seems to be a hot destination suddenly.
Tina means that ___________.

a) going to Tuscany is the main topic of discussion these days.
b) the temperature would be high in Tuscany.
c) the temperature in Tuscany suddenly rose up.
d) Tuscany is becoming everyone’s favourite stop.

Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘hot’ used to describe the destination does not refer to high temperature. It means that the destination is in demand these days. The word ‘hot’ refers to something which is liked much by people.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss the given options to conclude the answer:
a) going to Tuscany is the main topic of discussion these days: This option doesn’t explain the exact sense of the sentence as the word ‘hot’ doesn’t mean that Tuscany is the main topic of discussion.
b) the temperature would be high in Tuscany: This option states that the temperature would be high in Tuscany, which again is not the depiction of the word ‘hot’ here.
c) the temperature in Tuscany suddenly rose up: This option, again mentions temperature here, therefore this is incorrect.
d) Tuscany is becoming everyone’s favourite stop: This option states that Tuscany is becoming everyone’s favourite stop, which means it is in demand.

Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Note:
Do not get confused by the word ‘hot’ here. It does not refer to temperature in this sentence. It refers to something which is being liked by the majority.
