    Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

    Some of Guru Dutt’s ______classics are being screened on MUBI these days.

    Let us understand the meaning of the given words:-

    * Unforgettable = something that you cannot forget it, usually because it is so beautiful, interesting, pleasant etc.

    * Eventful = full of things that happen, especially exciting, important or dangerous things.

    * Dependable = something that can be relied on to do what you want or need.

    * Catchy = pleasant and easily remembered.


    Now let's find out the correct fit for the blank:

    * “Eventful” as an adjective is used in context of “occurrence of exciting or dangerous things”. Thus, option B is incorrect.

    * “Dependable” as an adjective is used in context of “something that can be relied upon”. Thus, option C is incorrect.

    * “Catchy” as an adjective is used in context of “something that is pleasant and easily remembered”. Thus, option D is incorrect.

    * "Unforgettable" as an adjective means something that you cannot forget it, usually because it is so beautiful, interesting, pleasant etc. Here in the given sentence, it is used to refer the noun “classics”. It mentions that these days screening of Guru Dutt’s classics (which were beautiful, interesting) is done on MUBI.

    Thus, "Unforgettable" becomes the correct word to fill in the blank.

    Thus, the correct sentence will be:

    Some of Guru Dutt’s unforgettable classics are being screened on MUBI these days.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Let us understand the meaning of the given words:-

    Particular = used to emphasize that you are referring to one individual person, thing or type of thing and not others.

    Peculiar = strange or unusual, especially in a way that is unpleasant or makes you worried.

    Special = not ordinary or usual; different from what is normal.

    Definite = sure or certain; unlikely to change.


    Now let's find out the correct fit for the blank:

    • “Peculiar” as a verb is used in context of “strange or unusual”. Thus, option B is incorrect.

    • “Special” as a verb is used in context of “not ordinary or usual”. But it takes infinitive structure after it. Thus, option C is incorrect.

    • “Definite” as a verb is used in context of “sure or certain”. Thus, option D is incorrect.

    • "Particular" as a verb is used in context of “emphasising something”. Here in the given sentence, it is used to stress or emphasise “country” (noun).

    Thus, "Particular" becomes the correct word to fill in the blank.

    Thus, the correct sentence will be:

    The best way to learn a language is to spend some time in the particular country where it is spoken.
