Sita’s heart …… at the sight of the beautiful diamond necklace. A. leapt B. stopped C. slowed D. ran

leapt
stopped
slowed
ran

The correct answer is A. leapt.

Sita’s heart leapt at the sight of the beautiful diamond necklace. This means that she was very excited and happy to see it. Her heart was beating fast and she felt a sense of joy and excitement.

The other options are not as accurate. Option B, stopped, means that Sita’s heart stopped beating. This is not likely to happen in response to seeing a beautiful necklace. Option C, slowed, means that Sita’s heart beat more slowly. This is also not likely to happen, as people’s hearts usually beat faster when they are excited. Option D, ran, means that Sita’s heart ran away. This is not a literal statement, but it is also not a very accurate way to describe Sita’s reaction to the necklace.
