Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution
Correct choice: to say their point of view, they feel oppressed and unwanted.
Why this fits: Being deprived of freedom of speech prevents a person from expressing opinions. Feeling "oppressed and unwanted" directly follows from that deprivation and matches the idea of injustice.
Why the other completions are wrong:
• The phrase about feeling "opportunistic about happenings" is irrelevant and odd in this context; it does not express harm or injustice.
• The phrase saying someone feels "happy and overwhelmed" contradicts the negative experience implied by being denied a right.
• The clause using "that they find themselves in despair and trouble" is grammatically awkward here and is less precise than the phrase expressing oppression and social exclusion.
Grammar note: The provided completion is acceptable as written. If you wanted a slightly smoother sentence, you could connect the ideas with "and" or rephrase, for example: "...when someone is deprived of their right to say their point of view and feels oppressed and unwanted."
Correct sentence: Individuals sense the injustice in daily life, in things like freedom of speech, when someone is deprived of their right to say their point of view, they feel oppressed and unwanted.
