    Question

    Given below is a sentence with one blank. Below the

    sentence are given four words among which one word might fill the blank. If none of the words fill the blank to form a meaningful sentence, choose option 5 ‘None of the above’ as your answer. The teacher’s calm and ___________ response helped defuse the tense situation in the classroom.
    A Aggressive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Hostile Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rude Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Patient Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence describes a situation where the teacher helped calm things down. Patient fits best because it suggests a composed and understanding attitude, which would help reduce tension. The other options (aggressive, hostile, rude) suggest behaviors that would escalate the situation instead of defusing it.
