    Question

    In each of the questions below, a sentence is given

    with a blank that indicates that a word is missing. Identify the word that fits in the blank to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Despite the ___________ traffic, we managed to reach the airport just in time for our flight.
    A Congested Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Sparse Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Systematic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Flowing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word “Despite” acts as a connector showing contrast. The second part of the sentence says they reached “just in time,” implying a struggle. Therefore, the traffic must have been a hindrance. Congested (heavy/blocked) provides the necessary contrast to the successful outcome.
