Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Ans.(b) Sol. Question statement: “He ate the whole cake by himself.” Here whole = entire / complete / full. (A) The whole matter was discussed in the meeting. Here whole = entire matter. Same meaning as the question. (B) She is missed terribly and her death has left a whole in all our lives. This is actually an error. It should be a hole in our lives. “Hole” means a gap / emptiness, which is completely different from “whole = complete.” So this does not match. (C) The whole class was present during the lecture. Here whole = entire class. Same meaning as the question. Correct matches: (A) and (C)
