Answer (1)

Correct Answer: when


Solution : The correct option will be the second option.

When is used to indicate a specific time or occasion. In this case, it suggests that his stability was in place at the time they met.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • While: This conjunction is used to indicate a contrast or simultaneous occurrence of two actions. In this context, "while" wouldn't convey the intended meaning that his stability was a condition at the time they met.
  • Hence: This adverb means "as a result" or "from this place". It doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
  • Lest: This conjunction means "for fear that" or otherwise.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: He was stable when they met.
