readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
triumph
B
mystery
C
tradition
D
failure
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. The passage cites "disappointing sales figures" and "negative reviews," clearly indicating unsuccessful results. "Failure" means lack of success, matching these negative outcomes.
Choice A is incorrect because "triumph" contradicts disappointing results. Choice B is incorrect because "mystery" doesn't relate to measurable outcomes. Choice C is incorrect because "tradition" doesn't relate to launch success.
