Answer 1

Hint: Read the sentence and understand what it means. Now, go through the options and recall what each of them signify. You can also use ‘hit and trial’ method to choose the option which fits the context of the sentence whilst keeping it grammatically correct.

Complete answer:
In this question, students have to complete the sentence by choosing the correct option which will best describe and complete the meaning of the sentence.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option A- (full of working days): Practically, very little work could be completed in the last week as it was full of working holidays. It is incorrect because it shows holidays were packed and work cannot be completed.

Option B, Option C and Option D articulate the same meaning. Therefore, these options are also incorrect. As, it states the reason as being overburdened with jobs.

Option E is the right choice and it explains that there was so little work completed over the week. While some of the choices do mean a hectic week by stating that they are distracted, they do not articulate the reason as being overburdened with jobs. As a result, options A, B, C, and D are all wrong.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘E’.

Note: There must be a subject and a verb in a full sentence, and the verb must be "finite": A sentence in which the main verb is in the '-ing' form is not complete. A sentence would not be complete if the main verb is in the infinitive form ("to" + verb).
