Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:

__________ filled the elderly couple’s home as they refused to get rid of anything they had ever bought.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence describes an elderly couple who have refused to discard anything they have ever purchased.

2. The word needed should describe a situation where many items are accumulated, often in a disorderly way.

3. Let's analyze the options:
   - **aesthetic** means related to beauty or appearance, which does not fit the context.
   - **envy** means jealousy, which is unrelated here.
   - **clutter** means a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass, which fits perfectly.
   - **quirk** means a peculiar behavior or habit, which does not fit the sentence meaning.

4. Therefore, the correct word to fill the blank is **clutter**.

**Answer:** (c) clutter
