​

Answer 1

Answer:

( b ) hamper ................

Answer 2

The right answer in the given question blank is option b: Hamper.

• According to the text, the girl is the winner of a prize in the form of a hamper as a prize for winning the contest.
• The right answer may be determined by knowing the definitions of all of the terms used in the alternatives.
• "Creel" is the first option. It is connected to a type of plant-based basket used mostly for keeping fish. In the context of this statement, it is inaccurate.
• Option b is to "hamper". It's a type of basket with a lid and handle that's used for putting gifts and other stuff and is given on important occasions.
• "Curb" is option c. It's a chain that's tethered to the horse's jaw. It's inappropriate here.
• Option d is "thwart". It has something to do with a canoe's wooden seat in between. It's also incorrect in this case.
• Hence, a hamper is something gifted in the basket which is correct here.
