Question
In the Shanghai Masters final, Djokovic ______________by
Jannik Sinner in straight sets, a match that highlighted the _____________talent in men's tennis. In the following sentences, there are two blanks. Find out the appropriate words for filling up the blanks:Solution
"Was defeated" correctly indicates that Djokovic lost to Jannik Sinner, while "rising" is the appropriate word to describe the emerging talent in men's tennis. The other options do not fit the context: "Had defeated" suggests Djokovic won, which is incorrect. "Was defeating" and "arose" are grammatically and contextually incorrect. "Deteriorating" describes something declining, which does not match the idea of new talent emerging. Thus, option 3 is the correct choice.
