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

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".
