We    sailed    along    the    beautiful    unspoilt    coast    of    northern    Norway    until    we    reached    the    town    of    Tromso,    over    300    kilometres    inside    the    Arctic    Circle.    With    its    brightly  coloured    wooden    houses    set    against    a  background  of    snowcapped    mountains,    it    was    a    remarkable    sight.    In    the    afternoon,    we    travelled    to    the    Lyngen    Alps    where    the    incomparable    scenery    took    my    breath    away.    Given    the    remote    location,    our    accommodation    there    was    surprisingly      and    the    large    meal    of    fresh    fish    we    were    served    that    evening    was    of    an    unexpectedly    high    standard    for    such    a    small    hotel.    The    next    day,    refreshed    after    a    wonderful      sleep    of    nearly    nine    hours,    I    headed    for    the    practice    slope,    where      cross-country    skiers    like    myself    had    to    learn    how    to    climb    uphill    with    skis    on.    That    far    north    towards    the    end    of    May,    there    was        daylight    –    and    it    was    my    to    go    midnight    skiing.

Correct answer: luxurious

Explanation: The word 'luxurious' is an adjective that describes the quality of the accommodation. It fits grammatically as it complements the noun 'accommodation' and aligns with the context of describing a surprising level of comfort in a remote location.

Meaning: 'Luxurious' means very comfortable and expensive, indicating a high standard of living.

Wrong options:

  • substantial: 'Substantial' is an adjective that means considerable in quantity or importance, but it does not convey the quality of comfort that 'luxurious' does.
  • constant: 'Constant' is an adjective that means occurring continuously over a period of time, which does not relate to the quality of accommodation.
  • intention: 'Intention' is a noun that refers to a plan or aim, which does not fit as a description of accommodation.
  • inexperienced: 'Inexperienced' is an adjective that describes someone lacking experience, which is irrelevant to the context of accommodation.
  • unbroken: 'Unbroken' is an adjective that means not interrupted, which does not describe the quality of accommodation.
  • training: 'Training' is a noun that refers to the process of learning a skill, which does not apply to the description of accommodation.
