She became conscientious when she realised that the opposite man was staring at her. A. the man opposite B. the opposed man C. man opposite D. No improvement

The correct answer is A.

The word “opposite” is an adjective that means “facing or located directly across from something else.” In this sentence, it is used to describe the man’s position relative to the woman. The man is standing across from the woman, so he is the “opposite man.”

The word “opposed” is a verb that means “to be against something.” In this sentence, it would not make sense to use the word “opposed” because the man is not against

the woman. He is simply staring at her.

The word “man opposite” is a noun phrase that means “the man who is standing across from me.” This phrase is grammatically correct, but it is not as concise as the word “opposite.”

The word “No improvement” is not an option.
