Question 1

He was affected by her kind words.

The most suitable word to complete the sentence is "affected," which means to be influenced or touched by something. In this context, it indicates that her kind words had an emotional impact on him.

A) affect

"Affect" is a verb that means to influence something, but it does not fit grammatically in the blank space. The sentence requires a past participle or an adjective, making "affect" an incorrect choice.

B) effect

"Effect" is a noun that refers to a result or outcome, which does not fit the grammatical structure of the sentence. The sentence requires a word that describes the state of being influenced, thus making "effect" an inappropriate selection.

C) effected

"Effected" is the past tense of the verb "effect," meaning to bring about or cause something to happen. This choice does not convey the intended meaning of being influenced, so it does not accurately complete the sentence.

D) affected

"Affected" is the past participle of the verb "affect," meaning to have an influence on or to be emotionally touched by something. This option correctly captures the emotional impact of her kind words, making it the best choice for the sentence.

Conclusion

The correct answer, "affected," effectively conveys the emotional influence of her kind words, while all other options fail to fit either grammatically or contextually. Each incorrect choice either misuses the form of the word or does not align with the intended meaning of the sentence.
