A bike must have found the very interesting movies quite … .

Analyze the question

The sentence seems to have some typos. It probably reads: "A buyer/viewer must have found the very interesting movies quite ____." Whatever the subject, the gap needs an adjective describing "very interesting movies". The word must therefore have a positive meaning that fits "interesting".

Explain the concepts (the options)

• Perverting: corrupting or leading someone away from what is right. It is negative and does not fit "interesting".
• Absolving: freeing someone from guilt or blame. It does not describe movies.
• Absorbing: holding all of one's attention, deeply engrossing. It is a natural word for interesting movies.
• Nauseating: causing a feeling of sickness or disgust. It contradicts "very interesting".

Step-by-step solution

1. The movies are described as "very interesting", so the missing word should be positive.
2. Perverting and nauseating are negative, so we eliminate them.
3. Absolving is about forgiveness, not about how movies affect a viewer, so we eliminate it.
4. Absorbing means captivating, which matches "very interesting" in both meaning and tone.

Answer: C. Absorbing

Tip: In "best complete the gap" questions, first decide whether the gap needs a positive or negative word from the context clues ("very interesting" here). That often eliminates two or three options at once. Also remember that absorbing is often used with books, films and stories, as in "an absorbing novel".
