Choose the correct word to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

Due to peer pressure, children are spending ______ amount on branded clothes.

exorbitant

exotic

exquisite

expository

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> exorbitant means unreasonably high or excessive, perfectly describing overspending on branded clothes.

Option 2 -> exotic means foreign or unusual, which doesn't logically describe an amount of money.

Option 3 -> exquisite means beautiful or delicate, used for quality not quantity of spending.

Option 4 -> expository means explanatory or descriptive, completely unrelated to monetary amounts.

Hence, Option 1: exorbitant -> The word "exorbitant" appropriately conveys that peer pressure causes children to spend an unreasonably excessive amount on branded clothes, which is the intended meaning of the sentence -> correct
