Which line indicates that a restaurant was not satisfactory?

Which line indicates that a restaurant was not satisfactory?

• A. The restaurant we went to was terrible.
• B. The restaurant was excellent.
• C. The restaurant closed early.
• D. The restaurant offered free desserts.

Answer: (A)

This question tests how sentiment about an experience is conveyed in what someone says. The line that shows not being satisfied uses a strong negative word—“terrible”—which clearly signals a very bad experience at the restaurant. That kind of adjective leaves no doubt about dissatisfaction. The other lines don’t express dissatisfaction in the same way: “excellent” is positive, indicating high satisfaction; “closed early” describes a situation that might be disappointing but isn’t a direct statement about overall satisfaction; and “offered free desserts” mentions a perk, not a judgment of the restaurant’s quality.
