Correct Answer: 4
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: nodded.
Explanation: In the context of the sentence, the phrase "shook their heads" is used to describe a gesture of disapproval or disagreement. Therefore, to convey the intended meaning of approval, the correct word is "nodded." When people nod, it typically indicates agreement or approval.
hung
- This word doesn't convey the intended meaning of approval; it suggests a different gesture, typically associated with disappointment or sadness.
turned around
- This phrase introduces a completely different action and does not convey approval or agreement; it changes the meaning of the sentence.
