Question

(2) Choose the correct meaning of the underlined phrase.
Jenna fell in the parking lot and blacked out.
(a) electricity went off (b) total darkness
(c) fainted​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

other both ans will not fit in the sentence in any form

Answer 2

The correct meaning of the underlined phrase is fainted.

When answering this statement always read it to understand what the meaning could be. When Jenna fell in the parking lot and blacked out it refers to her fainting. Blackout refers to fainting and in the context of this sentence, it feels correct. The other options would be incorrect because in option (a) there is no mention of electricity so we cannot use blackout in this context. In option (b) there is no mention of light so it cannot mean total darkness. Another hit to get the answer is that it was Jenna who blacked out therefore we cannot use electricity and darkness in relation to a person. This exercise is also a great way to understand that one phrase can have multiple meanings. It all depends on the context.
