Discussion
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Joan, being a/an____ reader, possessed a huge collection of books.
Answer: C
The correct word is avid.
An avid reader is one who reads eagerly and a lot, which fits someone with a huge collection of books. A/an before the blank also works with 'avid', which starts with a vowel sound.
'Sincere' and 'attractive' do not describe reading habits, and 'diligent' means hardworking and starts with a consonant sound.
'Avid' means keen or enthusiastic, as in 'an avid reader' or 'an avid fan'. A person with a huge collection of books is likely to be an eager reader. 'A/an' is a hint that the word should begin with a vowel for 'an', and 'avid' does so.
