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.
Despite the complexity of the issue, the diplomat managed to maintain a tone of calm and ___________ throughout the negotiation.
Solution
The sentence suggests that the diplomat remained calm during a complex negotiation. The word "composure" refers to a calm and controlled state of mind, which fits the context perfectly. The other options either convey negative emotions (hostility, aggression) or don't match the tone (irony). Hence, "composure" is the most appropriate word to fill the blank.
