Question

Instructions [99-100]: Choose the correct word which best fits the sentence so that it is complete and grammatically correct.

When the penalty corner was saved, the players _______ in toward the goal keeper to congratulate him.

• A. closed
• B. went
• C. crashed
• D. pooled

Hint:

Look for the word that shows a fast, forceful, excited rush of movement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Picture the scene: a goal-saving moment in a match, and teammates bursting toward the keeper in celebration. The right verb needs to show speed and force, not a calm or unrelated action.

1. Option A: Wrong. "Close in" fits a slow, tightening approach, like surrounding a target, not a celebratory rush.
2. Option B: Wrong. "Went in" is plain movement with no sense of urgency or emotion.
3. Option C: Correct. "Crash in" carries exactly the sudden, forceful, noisy energy of players sprinting to congratulate their goalkeeper.
4. Option D: Wrong. "Pool in" belongs to money or resources, not people rushing toward someone.

Only "crashed" matches both the speed and the excitement of the moment, so option C is correct.
