The villagers _____ the death of their leader by keeping all the shops closed.

  1. announced

  2. protested

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct option is 3. Option 1 is announced which does not have any relation with the second part of the sentence. The Second and fifth options have negative tones which is not reflected in keeping the shops closed. Option 4 means comforting which again is not related to keeping shops closed. So, option 3, meaning to express sorrow, is shown in the gesture of keeping the shops closed, is the correct option.
