Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:

The village in the wake of tsunami, was a terrifying __________ of a devastation.

• A. scenery
• B. scene
• C. moment
• D. lanscape

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option B is the correct answer as 'scene' means 'a place where an incident happened'. The sentence describes devastated condition of the village after the tsunami. Thus 'scene' is the right answer as it completes the sentence.
Option A is incorrect as 'scenery' means 'natural features of a landscape'. Scenery is not the right answer as the sentence describes a situation of devastation.
Option C is incorrect as 'landscape' means 'all the visible features of an area'. Landscape generally connotes the beauty of a place. Thus, it is not the right answer.
Option D is incorrect as 'moment' means 'a brief period of time'. 'Moment' does not complete the meaning of the sentence.
