Question

Her speech was so _______ that the entire audience sat in silence, deeply moved by her words.

• A. persuasive
• B. dramatic
• C. emotional
• D. powerful

Hint:

Look for the emotion or reaction described to choose the best adjective.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The clue is "the entire audience sat in silence, deeply moved," indicating the speech had a strong impact. 
- "Powerful" means having great effect or influence, which fits well. 
- "Persuasive" means convincing, but it doesn't necessarily cause silence and deep emotion. 
- "Dramatic" relates to theatrics, not necessarily deep emotion. 
- "Emotional" is close, but "powerful" better captures the overall effect. Hence, "powerful" best completes the sentence.
