    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the

    bold segment in the given sentence: The manager gave a very appreciable speech at the farewell function.
    A appreciative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B appreciating Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C appraised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D apprehensive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word “appreciable” means noticeable or significant in amount, which doesn't suit the context of describing a speech.

    The intended meaning is that the speech expressed gratitude or praise, for which the correct word is “appreciative.”

    “Appreciating” is a present participle, not suitable here.

    “Appraised” relates to evaluating or estimating value, not relevant to speech tone.

    “Apprehensive” means anxious or fearful, which also doesn’t fit.
