The first film on Tagore was such a success that now they are going to make a ________.
- (a)serial
- (b)sequence
- (c)sequel
- (d)sequential
Answer
C
Why
Correct — C, sequel. A 'sequel' is a film (or book) that continues the story after a successful first one, which is exactly what 'the first film … was such a success that now they are going to make a ___' sets up.
Why the others are wrong
- (a)serial — A 'serial' is a single story told in many broadcast instalments, not a follow-up to a completed successful film.
- (b)sequence — A 'sequence' is an ordered series or a scene within a film, not a follow-up film.
- (d)sequential — 'Sequential' is an adjective meaning 'in sequence'; the blank needs a noun.
Concept
Vocabulary cloze distinguishing 'sequel' (a follow-up work) from the look-alikes 'serial' and 'sequence' and the adjective 'sequential'.
