Question 79

Working from home requires that you may have to put your ______________ life on _______________. Some people find this very ________________ as they like to keep their work and home lives separate.

The overall tone of the sentence is serious and mildly uncomfortable, as it discusses the invasion of personal space when working from home and the emotional reaction some people have to it. The sentence ends with “Some people find this very _____ as they like to keep their work and home lives separate.” This clearly indicates a negative emotional reaction — not just a technical inconvenience, but personal discomfort. To understand which words best complete the sentence, we need to consider what kind of ideas the tone is trying to convey.

For the first blank, we need a word that refers to a person’s personal or home life, since the sentence talks about working from home. For the second blank, we need a word that suggests visibility or exposure, as in making your personal life visible to others. For the third blank, we want an adjective that captures the feeling of discomfort or unease caused by this exposure.

Private is the best choice for the first blank, as it directly refers to one’s personal life. Screen is appropriate for the second blank, since video calls often put our personal spaces “on screen.” Disconcerting fits the third blank, as it means unsettling or disturbing, which matches the emotional reaction of people who prefer to keep work and home separate.

Hence, option D is the best choice.
