Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: all of the above.
Explanation: Each of the three adjectives—woeful, abysmal, and atrocious—means "extremely bad" or "very poor," so any of them can correctly describe a very poor performance in this context.
woeful: means extremely bad or deplorable; fits the sentence.
abysmal: means extremely poor or dreadful; fits the sentence.
atrocious: means shockingly bad or appalling; fits the sentence.
Because all three single-word choices are synonyms and each would correctly fill the blank, the correct selection from the provided options is 'all of the above'.
Grammar note: A clearer phrasing would be "Indian batsman's poor performance in the World Cup led to the Indian cricket team's disqualification from the semi-finals."
