Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The word funny is appropriate in this context, as it conveys a positive and light-hearted tone. The sentence implies that the children found the story amusing.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

  • Humorous is a synonym for "funny". It conveys a sense of amusement and lightness.
  • Bad conveys a negative meaning rather than a positive or amusing one.
  • Ridiculous implies that the story is absurd or deserving of ridicule, which may not be the intended tone.
