Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Food was ___________; guides were not to be found, and the enemy dogged them all the way.
Option 1: Scarce
Option 2: crass
Option 3: chance
Option 4: farce
Correct Answer: Scarce
Solution : The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is the first option.
Explanation : We have to look for an adjective that describes the availability of food in the context provided. The word scarce fits this requirement, as it means in short supply or not plentiful. In the context of the sentence, it conveys that food was hard to come by, emphasising its scarcity. The other options do not convey the intended meaning in this context.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: Food was scarce ; guides were not to be found, and the enemy dogged them all the way.
