Correct Answer: overwhelming


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

It indicates that the response was very strong and intense, often in a positive sense. In the context of a marathon, "overwhelming" is the most appropriate word as it indicates a very strong and positive response, which is often desirable for such an event.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Overriding: This word implies that the response takes precedence over other considerations.
  • Excessive: This word means going beyond what is necessary or normal, suggesting that the response might have been too much for the situation.
  • Extreme: This word suggests that the response was at the highest level or at the far end of the spectrum, but it doesn't necessarily convey the idea of a strong and positive response.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "There was an overwhelming response for the marathon".
