Fill in the blank with the most appropriate alternative :

He is like a body without a soul, eye without light or flower without _______.

  • A.Smell
  • B.Fragrance
  • C.Petal
  • D.Colour

Answer: B

The answer is Fragrance: a flower without fragrance.

Each comparison names the thing that gives something its life or worth: a body without a soul, an eye without light. For a flower, that essential quality is its fragrance, a pleasant scent.

Smell is neutral and can be unpleasant, so it does not express the loss of something precious. A flower without a petal or colour is a physical defect, not the loss of its essence that the parallel calls for.
