Q. Select the most effective word from the options given below to fill in the blank and complete the sentence meaningfully.
The present __________ green forest of the area is a far cry from the dirty, foul smelling landfill that it was a decade ago.- Published on 07 Apr 16a. blue
b. complete
c. beautiful
d. quiet
e. lush
ANSWER: lush
The present lush green forest of the area is a far cry from the dirty, foul smelling landfill that it was a decade ago.
The options blue, complete and quite are irrelevant and do not make the sentence meaningful.
The confusion can be between the words beautiful & lush.
'Beautiful' does make the sentence meaningful but the contrast of the green forest of the area in the sentence is a dirty, foul smelling landfill that demands a more appropriate and enhancing adjective.
'lush' when used of nature, plants, trees, gardens, forests, etc. means 'rich', 'verdant' (green). Hence, lush is the appropriate word to be used for a green forest, grass, garden etc.
