Banking Exams English — Question 1868
Question
Fill in the blanks: 'The manager was _____ with the team's performance and decided to _____ them with a bonus.'
- disappointed ... punish
- pleased ... reward
- annoyed ... reward
- pleased ... penalise
Correct answer
B — pleased ... reward
Explanation (English)
Giving a bonus is a positive act, so the manager must be 'pleased' and choose to 'reward' the team. Only option (1) keeps both halves consistent; the others pair a positive act with a negative emotion or vice versa.
