Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The word joker should be replaced with clown to convey the intended meaning that the kid was joyous about seeing the clown at the circus. A " clown " is a performer known for humour and comic antics, often seen in circuses and other entertainment settings.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Dud refers to something that fails to work properly or is ineffective.

  • Ruffian is a tough or violent person, often associated with criminal behaviour.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The kid jumped with delight on seeing the clown at the circus."
