Question

Choose the word that best fits the blank in the following sentence: ``He ...... about his new job.''

• A. had exciting
• B. was excited
• C. was exciting
• D. is excitement

Hint:

- Use "excited'' to describe feelings or emotions experienced by a person.
- Use "exciting'' to describe something that causes excitement.
- Pay attention to verb tense and sentence meaning.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the meaning
- The sentence talks about how "he'' felt regarding his new job.
- The correct phrase should express an emotion or feeling.
Step 2: Analyze options
- (A) "had exciting'' is grammatically incorrect as "exciting'' is an adjective and can't follow "had'' without a noun.
- (B) "was excited'' correctly uses the past tense of the verb "to be'' plus the past participle "excited'' to show feeling.
- (C) "was exciting'' means "he'' was causing excitement, which changes the meaning.
- (D) "is excitement'' uses a noun in place of an adjective, incorrect in this structure.
Step 3: Conclusion
Option (B) is the correct choice to express feeling about the job.
