Hi, (b-ii) is fine; (a-i) is not. Both " marvellous " and " beautiful " carry a positive meaning, while you need something negative. " Exciting " is positive, too, so you don't want it.

Hi,
(b-ii) is fine; (a-i) is not.
Both "marvellous" and "beautiful" carry a positive meaning, while you need something negative. "Exciting" is positive, too, so you don't want it.
This leaves "terrible" and "cheap" (both negative, but very different in meaning).Your choice, now.
