Correct answer: afforded

Explanation: The word 'afforded' is the past participle of the verb 'afford,' which fits grammatically in this context as it follows the modal 'couldn't have.' This structure indicates a past inability to pay for something, aligning perfectly with the context of discussing equipment costs.

Meaning: 'Afforded' means to have enough money to pay for something.

Wrong options:

  • order: 'Order' is a noun or verb that does not fit the context of financial capability and does not relate to the ability to purchase equipment.
  • enjoyed: 'Enjoyed' is the past tense of 'enjoy,' which does not relate to the financial aspect of acquiring equipment.
  • bit: 'Bit' is a noun that refers to a small amount, which does not fit the context of financial capability.
  • massive: 'Massive' is an adjective describing size, which does not relate to the ability to purchase equipment.
  • viable: 'Viable' is an adjective that means capable of working successfully, which does not fit the context of financial ability.
  • revised: 'Revised' is the past participle of 'revise,' which does not relate to the financial context of affording something.
  • better: 'Better' is a comparative adjective that does not fit in the context of financial capability.
Correct answer: massive

Explanation: The term 'massive' is an adjective that describes something very large. In this context, it fits grammatically and contextually as it contrasts with the idea of events being for a small audience, emphasizing that they are not large-scale.

Correct answer: viable

Wrong options:

  • order: 'Order' does not fit as it refers to arranging or requesting something, which does not relate to financial viability.
