Question
Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold
segment in the given sentence. The delay in the project turned out to be beneficial, as it gave the team time to refine their work and improve the final output.Solution
The phrase "a silver lining" refers to a positive aspect or benefit that emerges from a difficult or unpleasant situation. It fits well in this context, as the delay in the project, though initially negative, turned out to have a positive outcome. The other options don't convey the same sense of an unexpected benefit from a negative situation.
