EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Agrating
- Bstrong
- Csilken
- Dheavy
Explanation
The idiom is "the silken touch of a maestro" - "silken" is used metaphorically to mean smooth, refined and masterful. "Grating", "strong" and "heavy" do not collocate with "touch" in this laudatory sense; indeed "a heavy touch" is a negative expression. The sentence praises the maestro, so only "silken" fits. Hence option C.
