    Question

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate collocation.
    We reached a ______ conclusion after discussing the matter.

    A.

    quick

    B.

    big

    C.

    heavy

    D.

    clear

    Correct option is D


    The correct option to fill in the blank is (d) clear.
    Explanation:
    The phrase "clear conclusion" is an appropriate and widely accepted collocation. It implies a decision or outcome that is well-defined, unambiguous, and easily understood after discussion.
    · The sentence reads:
    · "We reached a clear conclusion after discussing the matter."
    This emphasizes that the discussion led to a definite and understandable outcome.
    Grammatical rule used: Adjective-noun collocation: Some adjectives pair naturally with certain nouns. "Clear" fits logically with "conclusion" to denote clarity and definitiveness in the result of the discussion.
    Meanings of other options:
    · (a) Quick:
    तेज़ — Implies speed, but doesn't emphasize clarity or decisiveness.
    · (b) Big:
    बड़ा — Not a meaningful or commonly used adjective for "conclusion".
    · (c) Heavy:
    भारी — Illogical in this context; not a collocation with "conclusion".
