1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable phrase:
She is ___________ her brother's illness.

A
Ignorant of

B
Beware of

C
Amazed at

D
Angry at

Solution

We can conclude that the answer must be an adjective that fits well with 'brother's illness'.
Option A is correct. Ignorant means 'unaware due to lack of knowledge'. So, it can be said that she is unaware of her brother's illness. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. Beware means 'be alert'. It is a verb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot fit in the blank
Option C is incorrect. Amazed means 'surprised'. One cannot be surprised at an illness, it makes no sense.
Option D is incorrect. 'Angry at' does not fit well with 'brother's illness' either. Hence, it is incorrect
