Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. As per research, very few fortunate students in Africa get higher education. So the majority of students in Africa are _________.

  • A.blessed
  • B.cursed
  • C.unfortunate
  • D.tragic

Answer: C

The word is unfortunate.

Few fortunate students get higher education, so the majority are unfortunate, the opposite. 'Blessed' means fortunate, 'cursed' is much stronger and 'tragic' describes events.

So unfortunate is the most suitable.

The first sentence says only a few fortunate students get higher education, so the majority are in the opposite position. 'Unfortunate' is the direct opposite of 'fortunate'. 'Blessed' means the same as fortunate, and 'cursed' and 'tragic' are far stronger than the sentence needs.
