Acareful

Bgreat

Cstrong

Dclear

Answer:

D. clear

Read Explanation:

This question tests collocations. A collocation is a pair or group of words that are habitually used together by native speakers. While other words might technically make sense, they don't sound "natural" in this specific context. Clear (Correct): In English, the most common adjective used with "instructions" is clear. This means the instructions were easy to understand and left no room for confusion. Careful: While a person can be "careful," we don't usually say "careful instructions" to describe the instructions themselves. We might say "The teacher was careful in giving instructions." Great: This is too vague. "Great instructions" would imply they were wonderful or high-quality, but in an exam context, the priority is that they are easy to follow (clear). Strong: We use "strong" for things like opinions, coffee, or smells. "Strong instructions" is not a standard English expression; we would use "firm instructions" if we meant they were strict.
