With the existing management, the future of the company is in doldrums. A. dull B. bright C. uncertain D. secure

The correct answer is C. uncertain.

The word “doldrums” means a state of inactivity or depression. In the context of the question, it suggests that the future of the company is not clear and there is a risk that it may not be successful.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the word “doldrums”.

• Option A, “dull”, suggests that the future of the company is boring or uninteresting. This is not necessarily the case, as the company may still be successful even if it is not particularly exciting.
• Option B, “bright”, suggests that the future of the company is positive and promising. This is also not necessarily the case, as the company may face challenges in the future.
• Option D, “secure”, suggests that the future of the company is safe and stable. This is also not necessarily the case, as the company may be at risk of failure.
