From the given options, select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

He gazed___________ at his beautiful parental home in the valley, his thoughts drifting to a memorable past.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1: zestfully -> means with enthusiasm and energy, which doesn't match the contemplative, nostalgic mood of remembering the past.

Option 2: yieldingly -> means submissively or compliantly, which doesn't logically fit with the act of gazing at something.

Option 3: yearningly -> means with deep longing or desire, perfectly capturing the nostalgic emotion of looking at one's childhood home while reminiscing.

Option 4: woefully -> means sadly or miserably, too negative given the context mentions "beautiful" home and "memorable" (not tragic) past.

Hence, Option 3: yearningly -> This word best conveys the sense of nostalgic longing and wistful emotion someone feels when gazing at their childhood home and thinking about cherished memories from the past -> correct
