Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
On his sudden demise, my emotions were so complicated that it was ___________ how I felt.
a. unreasonable
b. impossible
c. indecent
d. unimaginable
e. inexplicable

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we need to find a word which appropriately completes the sentence. Since in this question our motive is to find an appropriate word so our approach will be to find a word which will produce a meaningful sentence.

Complete answer:
Option A. unreasonable
The word unreasonable means uncooperative or obstructive; it simply means something which is not based on a good sense. So, the word unreasonable cannot be used in the blank because it will not produce a meaningful sentence. The word unreasonable cannot be used for the emotional state of a person.
So, clearly Option A is incorrect.
Now let us see our next option.

Option B. impossible
The word impossible signifies the meaning itself; it means something which is not possible. So, clearly this option is also incorrect.

Option C: indecent
The word indecent means vulgar or inappropriate. So, this is also the wrong option as if we use the word indecent in the blank it will not produce a meaningful sentence.
Let us take a glance over the next option.

Option D: unimaginable
The word unimaginable means impossible to imagine or understand.

Option E: inexplicable
The word inexplicable means unaccountable or unexplainable. So, if we use the word inexplicable in the sentence it will give a meaning to the sentence as we can say that “On his sudden demise, my emotions were so complicated that it was unexplainable how I felt”.

So, the correct answer is “Option E: Inexplicable”

Note: You must have understood the meaning of all the options correctly and must have chosen the correct option. You must always choose an option which gives a meaningful sentence.
