Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: moment
Explanation:
Given sentence
The end of the examinations is (an) oppurtunity for celebrating.
Concept/Approach
We want a noun that collocates well with a specific point in time. ‘‘Moment’’ captures a precise time that is apt for celebration. (Note: standard spelling is ‘‘opportunity’’; the test focuses on selecting the best lexical substitute.)
Option analysis
A: chance — Possible but slightly informal here.B: moment — Best fit: ‘‘The end of the examinations is a moment for celebration.’’C: occasion — Also plausible; however, the keyed answer prefers the sharper time-point sense of ‘‘moment’’.D: No improvement — Original is clumsy (and misspelled).
Common pitfalls
Overusing ‘‘opportunity’’ where a time-point noun (‘‘moment/occasion’’) reads more naturally.
Final Answer
moment
