Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks. The world around us is filled with sound. There are loud sounds and soft sounds. There are pleasant sounds and _________ sounds. At this very moment, you are surrounded by sound. Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears? Why are there different kinds of sound? The study of these ________ about sound is called acoustics.
Answer: B
The correct pair is 'unpleasant; questions'. The first blank is part of the list 'pleasant sounds and ____ sounds', so it needs the opposite of pleasant, and unpleasant fits. The second blank follows the series of questions in the passage (Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears?), so 'questions about sound' fits and acoustics is the study of such questions.
'Horrid' is much stronger than needed, 'friendly' is not the opposite of pleasant for sounds, and 'repellent' is an odd choice. Also, 'demands', 'quizzes' and 'suspicions' do not fit questions about how sound works. Only the second option makes sense at both blanks.
