In question numbered 86 above, choose the best option from letters A - E that best completes the gap
Answer Details
The best option to complete the gap in question 86 is "advent." The sentence reads, "such movements reach a -85- with the -86- of festivals." The phrase "such movements" refers to the frequent travelling of Nigerians mentioned earlier in the passage, and the missing word is describing the peak or climax of these movements. "Advent" means the arrival or coming of something important, which fits the context of the sentence as it describes the peak of travelling during festivals. The other options do not fit the context of the sentence as well. "Incident" refers to an unexpected event and does not make sense in the sentence. "Arriving" is a verb and does not fit grammatically in the sentence. "Addition" means something added to an existing thing, and it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. "Adventure" means an exciting or daring experience, which does not fit the context of the sentence as it is not describing the festivals themselves but rather the peak of travelling during festivals.
