Question

    In the following question, an incomplete statement

    followed by fillers is given. Pick out the best filler to complete the incomplete statement, correctly and meaningfully. She rarely speaks in public now __________.
    A although she was a confident speaker once. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B because she enjoys addressing large audiences. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C as she has developed stage fright over the years. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D since she has been actively participating in debates. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: The sentence indicates that she rarely speaks in public now, which suggests a reason for her reduced participation in public speaking. Option 1 states that she was a confident speaker once, but it does not explain why she rarely speaks now. Option 3 is the best choice, as developing stage fright explains why she avoids public speaking. Option 2 contradicts the sentence, as enjoying addressing large audiences would mean she speaks often, not rarely. Option 4 also contradicts the sentence, as active participation in debates would suggest she speaks frequently. Thus, 3) is the correct answer as it provides the most logical and meaningful reason for the given situation.
