Correct Answer: particular


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

In the context of the sentence, particular is suitable because it indicates a specific story among others. The use of particular conveys that no one had told them this specific, distinct story, even though it was the one they were most eager to know. It adds a sense of uniqueness to the tale being referred to in the passage.

Therefore, the correct answer is particular.
