D. EEN
Submitted by: Areesha Khan
Correct Answer: B. INK
Explanation:
We need to find a set of letters that:
Complete the first word starting with “SHR”
Begin the second word ending with “LING”
SHR + INK = SHRINK (This is a valid word, meaning to reduce in size.)
INK + LING = INKLING (This is also a valid word, meaning a slight idea or suspicion.)
Since both “SHRINK” and “INKLING” are valid words, this is the correct answer.
The correct answer to the question: "Insert the word that completes the first word and begins the second: SHR (——) LING:" is "INK".
