The pilot remained ____ even when the warning alarms began to blare.

Single correct option

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option.
The pilot remained ____ even when the warning alarms began to blare.
  1. A. hysterical
  2. B. careless
  3. C. calm
  4. D. jubilant
Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) calm

The sentence says 'even when the alarms began to blare', so a word showing steadiness under pressure is needed. 'Calm' fits perfectly. 'Hysterical' and 'jubilant' do not suit a trained pilot facing danger, and 'careless' would suggest negligence, which the context does not intend.
