Question
Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold
segment in the given sentence: The manager gave a very appreciable speech at the farewell function.Solution
The word “appreciable” means noticeable or significant in amount, which doesn't suit the context of describing a speech.
The intended meaning is that the speech expressed gratitude or praise, for which the correct word is “appreciative.”
“Appreciating” is a present participle, not suitable here.
“Appraised” relates to evaluating or estimating value, not relevant to speech tone.
“Apprehensive” means anxious or fearful, which also doesn’t fit.
