Correct Answer: Irrelevant, failed


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

"Irrelevant" means not related or not applicable to the topic or context and "failed" means unsuccessful.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Relevant: Something is related to or connected to the topic or situation being discussed.
  • Hastened: Something is made to happen quickly or is sped up.
  • Interesting: When something is interesting, attention is grabbed, and curiosity arises.
  • Tried: It is the participle form of "try", which means to make an attempt to do something.
  • Superficial: Something is on the surface and lacks depth or importance. It is not deep or meaningful.
  • Listened: It is the participle form of "listen" which means to make an effort to hear something.

Therefore, the complete sentence is "There were so many irrelevant points in his speech that the audience failed to get the message".
