A puzzling question
The secretary ..............very busy when I called her, so I ended the call quickly.
a) sounded b) appeared
I go for 'a'. Am I right?
Top answer
From a logical standpoint, the call was made in the past and you are dealing with two choices, "appeared" has to do with visual elements which you couldn't possibly see, so "only logical choice is "sounded". A is correct.
