Question

I'd be grateful if you could check the quiz below.

Choose the sentence that fits in the blank ( ) from the options a to e.

The director of the aquarium is speaking to a staff member who has prepared a new tank for exhibition.
Director: ( )

a. “No, no, that's not what "school of sardines" means. Please remove these desks and chairs by the end of today.”
b. “Didn't I say the next one coming is a "tortoise," not a “turtle”? Also, you misspelled it on the signboard.”
c. “What you've cleaned up is the jellyfish that were supposed to be exhibited this time.”
d. “The deep sea is not just about being dark. Alas! Rare giant isopods!”
e. “You again!”

Answer

Based on the context provided, the most suitable option to fill in the blank would be:

b. “Didn't I say the next one coming is a 'tortoise,' not a 'turtle'? Also, you misspelled it on the signboard.”

This option reflects the director's dissatisfaction with the staff member's mistake in identifying the animal for exhibition and also points out an error on the signboard.

Answer

B is clearly the best answer.

Answer

A is the best one. It's a mildly amusing joke so would be a good caption for a cartoon showing a tank in an aquarium. The others don't make any sense.
