    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    The _________ of the movie was unexpected.

    A.

    ends

    B.

    ending

    C.

    ended

    D.

    end

    Correct option is B

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) ending.
    Explanation: In film/plot contexts, “the ending” is the standard abstract noun for the way a story concludes (Hindi: समापन / अंत का तरीका). It emphasizes how the story wraps up, hence “The ending of the movie was unexpected” is idiomatic and precise.
    Example: Critics praised the film’s ending for its clever twist.
    Explain why other options are incorrect.
    · (a) ends: plural noun; we talk about one movie’s finish, not multiple ends. (Hindi: अंत/समाप्तियाँ)
    · (c) ended: past-tense verb; cannot function as a noun after “The … of the movie.” (Hindi: समाप्त हुआ)
    · (d) end: singular noun (Hindi: अंत)— grammatically possible (“the end of the movie”) but less precise here than “ending,” which better denotes the manner and craft of the conclusion. Test usage prefers “ending.”
