 Key Points

  • The word "tiring" means causing one to feel exhausted or fatigued. (थका देने वाला; थकाऊ)
    • Example: This is a tiring job.
  • It is the most appropriate option to fill in the blank because the songs provided relief during a long and exhausting bus journey.
  • Grammatically, "tiring" is an adjective that describes the journey.
  • The correct answer is Option 3.
     

Correct sentenceThose songs were a great relief for Mohan during his long and tiring bus journey. 

 Additional Information

  • Option 1) "tolerable" means bearable or able to be endured. It does not convey the idea of relief from exhaustion. (काफ़ी अच्‍छा (परंतु सर्वोत्तम नहीं))
  • Option 2) "plausible" means seeming reasonable or probable, but again, it does not fit the context of the sentence. (विश्‍वसनीय; तर्कसंगत)
  • Option 4) "reprimanding" means scolding or rebuking someone, which is not appropriate in this context. ((ग़लत काम करने पर) किसी की भर्त्सना करना, फटकार लगाना (औपचारिक रूप से))
